THE summer may be nearly over, but the Alpine Garden Society is looking forward to its 15th season of illustrated talks.

The East Lancashire Group, which meets at Ramsbottom Civic Hall and attracts plenty of members from Bolton, plays host to monthly speakers who cover topics on all types of wild and cultivated plants.

The group recently received a silver medal from the Royal Horticultural Society for its performance at the Tatton Show.

Anyone wanting to join the group is welcome to attend the next meeting on Monday September 11.

For more information call Cliff Booker on 01706 356385.
