Find out where to place our plants, how to look after them and more importantly which ones to buy

Many of you know Anthony Saxon the singer and dancer extraordinaire, but not everyone knows about his horticulture knowledge and expertise. Anthony worked in the horticulture industry before becoming a horticulture lecturer in various colleges in the UK for nearly 30 years. Do you know your Artemisia from your Elephant ear? Anthony will be delivering a talk on ‘Terrace planter basics’. Keen and amateur gardeners alike will have experienced the pitfalls of trying to cultivate beautiful terrace pots in the Spanish sun. Some of you just may simply want advice on what plants survive.

The talk is a prelude to a short course that Anthony will be delivering for the U3a, Places will be limited and you can sign up at the coffee morning.

Appeal from one of our members: My name is Elena de Ru. I am from Belgium and a new Member of the U3A support team.

Like the u3a coffee group in Denia U3A, I would love u3a Oliva to help the hospice of the Franciscan brothers in the outskirts of Gandía. The brothers are so nice and hospitable. They would appreciate all kinds of donations, old medications, incontinence pants, mattress covers etcetera. They have a qualified farmacist on the premises, so there is no need to worry if the items are out of date. They also need toiletries, dry or tinned food. .Please bring it to the coffee morning or call Elena, support team member U3A Oliva on 622215724 or mail elenaonderweg@gmail.com Thank you so much.
