This is a small friendly group with a focus on the practical, hands on side of gardening. We normally get 6-10 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 visit a private garden once a year. We make hanging basket in March and Christmas decorations in November both at one of the members homes. This group doesn't tend to visit big gardens. The programme of meeings is below and you can contact Jothy for meeting location details. Suitable for all levels of knowledge

This group would welcome new members. Contact Jothy by clicking on the Group Email link above for more information.
