Just wondered what members thought of the new see through poly bag that 'Herbs' now comes in? The bags are bio-degradable and give us an opportunity to advertise events and important imformation, such as the change to the date for the President's Day this year. For those wondering about cost, our wonderful administrator Flick got the change for us at no extra cost. Members feedback would be greatly appreciated.
