WORKING PARTY REPORT AND PHOTOS: 6TH JULY 2023

This week’s report comes from FOGG working party member Katie Frost – who has also taken the stunning photo:

This is a cornus kousa, a dogwood. It is near the south end of the Glen, growing over the pathway. The structures that look like petals are actually bracts (a modified leaf). They surround the fruit. 

A very fruitful (!) time was had with Paul [Fealey – EDDC Horticultural Officer] on Thursday, discussing ideas, eventually walking the whole Glen. 

And he should be able to visit much more frequently on Thursdays in future.
