What we do:
We are a group who share our skills and knowledge, solve problems and learn how to improve our gardens. We do that by gaining inspiration from each other and local experts and through visits to gardens, hands-on sessions and talks.
In the Winter
Generally, October to April meetings are held on 3rd Monday of the month, 2-4 pm. Doors open at 1.45pm and everyone is asked to help with setting up and packing away chairs and tables, and teas /washing up. We ask for a small donation to cover the cost of the room hire and teas and coffee.
In the Summer
Generally, during May to September, on the 4th Monday of the month, a variety of visits are offered – each one will have its own arrangements. Some of these will be by coach, others with car-sharing but, where possible, we try to offer members the option to bring their own lunch, but not all venues allow this.
We would like to offer you help with your gardening problems - please email Fiona with any questions and review the Help with Your Garden for the answers.
