Events

We organise four talks a year on topics such as garden design, specialist plants, famous gardens, encouraging biodiversity and many others. Talks at the Village Hall include time for tea/coffee and socialising.

Members receive a schedule and two newsletters annually.  

 

We hold two shows a year in the Village Hall, Spring and Autumn, with classes for flowers, flower arranging, fruit and veg, photography, arts and crafts and classes for children.  Shows are open to non-members, it’s not too serious and the Hall opens to the public in the afternoon.  Winning a prize won’t make you rich but it’s fun and a great way to show off your work. 

 

In May, we hold our very popular annual plant sale - with a large number of plants to choose from, at very reasonable prices, the Village Hall is usually packed with gardeners keen to pick up a bargain (come after the first rush if you'd like a quieter experience).   

 

We have a Summer Social for Members in June which is usually hosted by Great Dixter, with drinks and canapes and the chance to wander around the gardens in the evening light.  Our Christmas Social in December, combined with the AGM, includes drinks and a buffet supper, Members and their Guests are welcome to this lovely event in the Village Hall.   

 

Recent coach trips have included RHS Wisley, RHS Hyde Hall, Beth Chatto Gardens, Loseley Park, Borde Hill, the Sussex Prairie Gardens and Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens.
