Wednesday 20th March 2024 – 7pm – at Whitbourne village hall.
Robin Pearce retired as a nurseryman, having run a wholesale nursery supplying garden centres, garden designers and National Trust Gardens with herbaceous plants for 20 years. He continues to grow a very wide range of hardy plants, with a special interest in dahlia, hosta, hemerocallis, pulmonaria, Galanthus, woodland plants, ornamental grasses, and hardy ferns. Robin is the former chair of the RHS Herbaceous Plant Committee, RHS Floral judge, exhibitor, and speaker.
Robin’s love of dahlias was kindled on childhood holidays to his great-uncle Bill Selby’s market garden. It was Bill Selby who gave Robin his first dahlias that were suitable for showing, it was not long before he was showing at the RHS Halls Westminster and becoming a national champion. His interest is now on dahlias for garden display and the RHS Dahlia trials at RHS Wisley.
Today Robin combines his lifelong sport of rock climbing and mountaineering with his passion for exploring wildflowers growing in their natural environment.

Once again this year Bromyard Foodbank & Money Advice Centre (‘the Foodbank’) has been funded by Bromyard Relief in Need (‘BRiN’) to provide Christmas Food Parcels in the local parishes of Bromyard, Winslow, Brockhampton, Linton and Norton. We also have some additional funds that enable us to extend this to other parishes in Herefordshire close to Bromyard.
BRIN and the Foodbank have the same objective: to help those who are in poverty or financial need. Both charities support the residents of Bromyard and, in the case of the Foodbank, the surrounding villages within Herefordshire throughout the year.
The food parcels that we will be preparing are for individuals and / or families that live in the designated area and who are a natural fit to benefit from BRIN and the Foodbank and in the first instance we are asking you to get in touch with details of households whom you believe meet these criteria and whom you would like us to help at this time.
While we would like to support as many households as possible our resources are limited; time is also of the essence. So, if you would like to refer a household to us for consideration, can you please get in touch by no later than 01 December. In the first instance please email me at [email protected] and let me have a number on which to contact you. We will need from you a name, address and contact number for the proposed recipient(s) together with details of the family unit (number of adults, children (plus ages) and pets). All information provided will be held on a confidential basis in accordance with Data Protection principles and once a final determination is made we will confirm to you and contact the household.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely
