DESCRIPTION: Our Gardening group has been running for nearly three years and has been steadily growing. Our members have varying degrees of gardening expertise and varying spaces in which to garden.

We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 2pm, unless an interesting visit becomes available on a different day, when we change it by mutual agreement.

We visit different open gardens, according to season, arranging a group visit with the different garden owners. We do tend to enjoy the places offering tea and cake as an extra. We also visit local garden centres, usually on a prearranged basis, when we often have a guide.

In addition we have meetings in members homes, when we select a topic to discuss, exchange advise and ideas and swap plants.

We have also had sessions taking cuttings, making plant supports and Hypertufa troughs, and exploring the possibility of keeping hens!

This is a very friendly group with room for more interested people.
