"Beechgrove Gardens – In front of and behind the Camera"
Sunday 29th November 2015 saw the Northern Ireland Daffodil Group welcoming world renowned gardening expert George Anderson. George gave a very interesting talk on his experiences of working as a presenter on BBC Beechgrove Gardens. George is the Retired Head of the School of Horticulture Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Past President of the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society and a Member of Council of the RHS. George entertained with his stories from both in front of the camera and also from behind the lense. His photos were excellent and gave us a real insight into the amount of effort and work that goes into making gardening shows for TV.
A fantastic afternoon was had by all and it was great to see so many members and friends attending.

Belfast Autumn Fair - 2015
Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September saw the Northern Ireland Daffodil Group taking part in the annual 'Belfast Autumn Fair'. With the fantastic weather came a large crowd and fun was had by all who attended at the many varied and various stalls. The groups' stall attracted many visitors who looked for our expertise and guidance, gaining valuable advice about planting and growing and many availed of the abundant quantity of bulbs for sale, that were generously supplied by individual group members, and Ringhaddy Daffodils who supplied the majority of our crop.
Hopefully this influx of interest will lead to a longer-term interest in new members joining the group. At present we've already some interest in the facebook page which is a direct result from the weekends efforts.
