Doug Sears (who sadly passed away in October 2021) he was a great stalwart and supporter of Wallingford Gardening Club and was the Programme Organiser for a just over 10 years, when he stepped-down from his role on the Committee he handed over to his successor a collection of membership cards dating back to 1964! Doug (and with his brother in law David) provided copious amounts of plants for the Clubs' annual plant sale held each year in Wallingford town square.

Doug was a true gentleman. I knew him through my years with Wallingford Gardening Club. He was kind and very generous with his gardening knowledge. I have several plants in my garden that he gifted me, and they continue to flourish, especially the persicaria and will be a reminder of Doug. Susan L Doug was a lovely man and a gardener of the old school. Much knowledge given freely when asked but otherwise a man of few words and much understanding. He gave me a Persicaria which will be forever known as Doug’s plant. Janet P Doug was a quiet man who never wanted to put himself forward but could always be relied on to help out. He'd drop in on a Sunday morning in the autumn to bring the programme to print for the following year and tell me about the visits he'd arranged, and in the spring he'd calmly ferry all the plants that landed on his doorstep to the plant sale. He was always good-humoured and patient when a newbie like me joined the committee (many years ago) with lots of enthusiasm and not a clue about how things actually worked. He loved to make things grow. Janet H It was always a pleasure to meet Doug at Club events, he quietly made an outstanding contribution to the Club over many years. He spent much time researching and booking the speakers and the same for garden visits. Many healthy & vigorous plants grown by Doug & his brother in law for the plant sale every year made a significant contribution to the proceeds, helping to keep the Club afloat to this day. Thank you Doug. |
