We meet every month and hold a varied programme of talks and visits
We arrange about seven or eight talks each year. Topics range from cultivating particular groups of plants, combating pests and diseases to talks and demonstrations by professional gardeners, horticulturalists & botanists and also countryside experts from our area about their lives and experience.
We are fortunate to have access to some exceptional people with a considerable range of knowledge and experience in both practice and theory. We also arrange visits to notable gardens in the Wessex area, often combined with lunch or a cream tea! |
We meet on the second Thursday of each month in the Village Hall, starting at 7.30.
Garden visits are shown as 'all day' or 'afternoon' as appropriate. |
