Activity: Gardening

Location: Parish Room of St. John's Church

Timings: First Wednesday of the month at 2:30 pm

Description: The basis of the group is one of self-help, although outside speakers are invited to address the group from time to time . Members research topics and share the knowledge gained; we also share gardening problems and solutions.

From time to time we have trouble-shooting sessions. We are affiliated to the RHS which entitles us to use their advisory service but for most problems there is someone in the group who can provide the answer.

The group meets at 2.30 on the first Wednesday of each month (except July and August) in the Parish Room of St John's Church.

Each year there is usually at least one outing to a place of horticultural interest and in 2008 the group enjoyed a 5 day trip to Holland and, in particular, the flower auction at Aalsmeer and the famous displays of bulbs in the gardens at Keukenhof. In 2009 there were visits to both Wisley and Kew.
