Gardening

The Gardening group has no limit on the number of members, and most of them select the meetings that they find of particular interest - there's no expectation that everyone will attend every time. We meet monthly, usually in the afternoon or occasionally for an all-day outing, on the 4th Thursday of the month.

In the spring and summer, our meetings include visits to gardens open to the public, either local afternoon outings or all-day trips further afield, sometimes in conjunction with members of Tynedale u3a's 'Garden Visits' group; and visits to each other's gardens, which may be just to look around and get ideas, or perhaps to pool our thoughts on a specific problem. We organise a plant swap session every October and a seed swap in early spring. In the colder months there are indoor meetings (which last winter were held on Zoom, and may be hybrid meetings in the coming months, i.e. a choice of meeting in person or using Zoom to join from home), at which we've discussed specific gardening-related topics, looked at each other's garden photos, shared expertise (e.g. we've had sessions on taking root cuttings and planting a hanging basket), and sometimes watched videos. The meetings are always relaxed and friendly, and our members include a few real experts, as well as many others who are keen to learn, or who just like an afternoon out enjoying a garden in pleasant company.

If this might interest you, for more information or to arrange to try one of our meetings you can contact Kathy, the convenor of the Gardening group, by clicking on the dove icon (top right).
