Stories of Life as was at Tapp's Garden Centre - Thursday 21 September 2006

On Thursday 21st September, members joined Joyce hart on a trip down Memory Lane, Joyce’s memories that is, as she recalled her grandfather who went from being bargee to soldier before taking on not one but three smallholdings in Baldock and finally ending his life at the age of 82 as a successful dried flower producer. Her father took over the business until the 1980s when he too died. Now it is the equally successful Tapps Garden centre but Joyce says she still misses being able to look out over “her” land and also a long washing line.The next meeting is the AGM on Thursday 19th October at Rushden when members are invited to think of interesting uses for apples and the following month is the Spender Cup when the competition is best energy saving tip.
