SUMMARY:Hardy Plant Society\, Hampshire Group – Going Higher and Higher – Speaker Jack Willgoss from Wildegoose Nursery
DESCRIPTION:Jack and Laura started the nursery as specialist growers of hardy perennial violas\, but their passion for plants has always extended beyond this to encompass a wide range of flowering perennials and grasses. They offer an ever expanding plant list of exciting new perennial introductions and longstanding favourites. The garden at Wildegoose Nursery showcases these wonderful plants in exuberantly planted borders. The garden also functions as stock beds from which they propagate. It is also where they continually test the garden worthiness of the plants they sell. In fact 95% of all their stock is propagated on site from seed\, cuttings and divisions. Talking of which\, they plan to bring along plants to sell. \nThe subject is about using tall perennials to create an immersive atmosphere. They consider using some of the favourite border giants and look at a different take on how to use them. \nHHPS

SUMMARY:Hardy Plant Society\, Hampshire Group – Shrubs and Woodland for Autumn Colour – Speaker Jack Aldridge
DESCRIPTION:Jack has been described as a rising star in British horticulture and is renowned for his exceptional knowledge of woody plants and his significant contributions to plant conservation\, research\, and education. \nIn fact\, he is the current holder of the 2025 RHS ROY LANCASTER AWARD in recognition of his outstanding contribution to horticulture. Having been interested in plants from a young age\, upon leaving school Jack applied for the prestigious Wisley Diploma course\, from which he graduated in 2022 before being taken on full-time. He later managed Oakwood at the same location\, demonstrating a level of expertise that sets him apart from many of his peers. His commitment to the propagation and conservation of rare and significant plants\, alongside his efforts to improve plant labelling and collection accuracy\, showcases his dedication. Jack’s work marks him as an exceptional young horticulturist and a leader of the next generation in the field. \nHHPS

SUMMARY:Hardy Plant Society\, Hampshire Group – The Garden at Malverleys – Speaker Mat Reese
DESCRIPTION:Mat\, Head Gardener of Malverleys\, is coming to talk about this iconic garden in Hampshire. He started his apprentiship at Ness Botanic Garden\, on the Wirral penninsular\, before continuing at RHS Wisley and Kew. On completing his studies\, he had a 6 year spell at Great Dixter with Christopher Lloyd and Fergus Garrett where he learnt how to combine plants. He also went on plant- finding expeditions to Europe\, Asia and Africa to see how plants grow in the wild. \nIn 2010 he took up his position at Malverleys and\, with his team of 5\, has undertaken many changes within the garden. Whilst managing livestock on the estate (when I booked him he was feeding a bottle to a new born lamb!) he also has plans to introduce study days and accomodation for students\, involving more young people in horticulture. So\, life is never dull! \nSo why not come and see what a wonderful garden we have on our own doorsteps. \nHHPS
