As far as collecting goes March was a successful month with 42 items of information being received from 41 contributors, 37 of them new.  Thank you everyone. Thus the Archive now contains 10,176 items from 4,118 contributors.

A lecture on J.E. Lousley at St Olave’s Hart Street went well, and a steady stream of people visited the drop in Wonderful Weeds workshop at a Sustainable Thornton Heath event.  However, of the three planned walks, one failed to attract any participants, one attracted only one, and the third eight.

25 posts were added to the website; users are reminded that many of these should be regarded as works in progress, rather than the final word on their subjects.  Comments and corrections, etc., are always appreciated; please send them to roy@plant-lore.com

Searches of the website, and the number of useful messages received via it, remain low.

One minor publication was produced:

Cemetery plants: Primrose, Primula vulgaris, Friends of Brompton Cemetery Magazine 85: 8-9.
