Our club offers monthly talks, an annual show, plant sale and many garden visits through the year. You are welcome to get involved as much as suits you. Some people just come along to the occasional evening talk others get more involved and engage with other members and enjoy the more social side it is up to you.

Anyone is welcome, the club is open to gardeners and non-gardeners  and you can come along from anywhere. Membership is just £10 per year. You can come along as a visitor for just £2 per evening.
