When: Monthly on Tuesday afternoons 2:00 pm-4:00 pm
Meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month
Venue: Various Sites

This is a small friendly group with a focus on the practical, hands on side of gardening. We normally get 5-7 members and visit a volunteer member's garden and discuss it whilst in the garden before taking tea. We then have a talk, normally prepared and given by the group leader followed by a discussion.

We also visit private gardens in the summer, make hanging baskets or summer pots at a member's house. We like to visit more gardens and events during the year.

Suitable for all levels of knowledge. Contact Jothy by clicking on the Group Email link above for more information
