Speaker Programme of Monthly Meetings

Our monthly meetings feature visiting speakers covering a variety of subjects. Doors open at 7pm, with the talk starting at 7.30pm, followed by tea/coffee (50p), time to chat, buy plants and draw the raffle.

We often have additional events organised, including visits to gardens, nurseries, a summer BBQ, and our own 'closed' Show (members only) in July where we have some not too serious competitive spirit to show off our growing efforts!
