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
** Jothy has decided to step back from leading this group in 2027 so we are looking for a new Leader. Contact Jothy via the Group Email link above if you want to know more about the group or you can contact Zahra via this link Group Coordinator if you want to chat about running a group.
