This is not a million miles from me so I'll be popping along if next week goes well. Why do they do these things on Saturday?

   There will be no Spring Saxifraga day at Waterperry this year, we are doing some rebuilding beds and
constructing new top covers for the frames.
The good news is: There will a Saxifraga Party in late May for the ever increasing collection of Silver Saxifraga
