One member is standing for election to the Management Committee. Lorraine Dodd is Chair of the Bursary Committee. She has been a member of MPG for over 10 years and has had an interest in Mediterranean and dry gardening for much longer. She owned a house in western Portugal for many years and restored and developed the land there with water sustainability in mind- not always successfully!
She is proposed by Gill Robinson and seconded by Heather Martin.
