Farnham U3A Horticulture Group offers an informative programme for experienced and inexperienced gardeners. You are welcome to join us whether you have a small courtyard garden or an extensive plot. We meet monthly for talks by members sharing their horticultural knowledge, experiences, hints and tips; or presenting on places of horticultural interest they have visited. There are talks by outside speakers but we especially welcome participation by members, encouraging them to talk about their gardens and the plants they grow and also to share photos of these in our monthly video slideshow. A £5 yearly subscription towards the group’s expenses is required.
Note: Each month I send an email informing members about the upcoming session. If you are not seeing these messages they are probably being marked as ‘Junk’ by your email provider. Please use a web browser to access your email account and mark the messages as not Junk; might have to do this more than once. Adding email address noreply@u3abeacon.org.uk to your email address/contacts list helps. Links to common email providers:- BTinternet – Gmail – Outlook
Meets monthly, on Tuesday, from 14.00 – 15.45 in the Barley Room but please check the notice board in reception for confirmation.

Affinity is similar to Photoshop so has a steep learning curve, but lots of tutorials online. A free version has been made available; I use a bought version so cannot comment on this free download, but seems useful. Afinity photo editor
