Surrey Garden Design Group

[Paul Kelly]

I trust no-one will object to this plug for a completely non commercial
group which I hope will be of interest to urglers in the South London/Surrey
area.

Surrey Garden Design Group is a networking group for anyone working in or
interested in Garden Design. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month,
alternately for speaker sessions and informal discussions in member's homes.
Members are in the main working in design or landscaping but there is a good
sprinkling of non professionals.

Over the past year or so speakers have included John Brookes, David Stevens,
robin Williams, Anthony Noel, Rosemary Alexander, Julie Toll plus a host of
other "names" inaddition to local nurserymen and landscapers.

Membership is £22 per year (Jan - December) Entry to talks is free to
members.

Talks are at a hall in Epsom. Email me direct for further details.
