ROCK GARDEN SOCIETY
REFORMED AT WELLINGTON Press Association WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Extinguished at Nelson, the New Zealand Alpine and Rock Garden Society is being reformed at Wellington. The society was dependent mainly on the energy of its founder, Mr. AWilkinson, who recently notified the society at Nelson that he was unable to carry on the great mass of work caused by the growth of the society, the result being that the Nelson body became an entirely local one. Wellington and Hutt Valley enthusiasts invited Mr. Wilkinson, who was dissatisfied with Nelson’s decision, to found a new society here, and for g. week Mr. Wilkinson has been doing spade work in the formation of the new society. This was brought to fruition in Lower Hutt last night. Patrons of the society will be Sir Charles and Lady Fergusson, and the president, Mr. Hope Gibbons, of “Wanganui. The committee, along with 'Mr. A. J. Nicholls, secretary, will go into preliminary investigations and report to a meeting on December 12.
