During the summer months we explore the beauty of established gardens within the local and adjoining areas to get new ideas, usually from the owner or head gardener, and may come away with new plants for our own gardens. There is an additional charge for visiting the gardens which will be variable and usually refreshments of coffee / tea & cake are available at extra cost.
Our Winter talks (October to April) are held from 10am to 12.00 noon. in the Childswickham Memorial Hall. with a speaker who gives us an illustrated talk about some aspect of gardening and often brings plants for us to inspect. Join us for coffee or tea from 10:00 with the talk commencing at 10.30 and bring a single flower or stem for our competition if you wish.
Please note that, as well as the single stem specimen competition, Fran is introducing a Bring and Buy table for donations to group funds.
