"I
liked all gardening in general. Flowers I loved the most, Chrysanthemums,
I used to grow quite a lot. General gardening, there was nothing
I disliked about it.
The
Bellingham Horticultural Society did a lot of things for the children,
we had flower shows there, flower shows each year. When I first
was there, it was pitifully run down. Some of the allotments all
round have been built upon since then. A lot of people had allotments
in those days, and out the back of where I live now, there used
to be twelve or fifteen plots, and I know that eight of them were
continually cultivated. We use to grow all our own veg out there;
it was quite a thriving society."
