For our August meeting we have Karen Randall giving a talk on aquatic plants. Karen is very well known in (and outside) the aquatic plant circle and has been a large contributor to the Aquatic Gardeners Association (AGA) and it's publication The Aquatic Gardener. So if you're interested in aquatic plants, this is the talk to go to.
And don't forget our usual mini-auction, raffle and bowl show - it's invertebrates this month! What a great pairing we have this month as freshwater shrimp and (some) snails go beautifully with aquatic plants! But feel free to enter those plant destroying crayfish too!
