The group meets on the first Monday morning of each month. We meet in a member's home and discuss gardening topics and problems. We have plant swap mornings, and watch garden videos. We invite members of other gardening groups to join us to hear a speaker on gardening. We visit garden centres, specialist nurseries, and other gardens. All gardening groups meet together for an annual lunch in January. |

Meetings cover various gardening interests. In summer we visit private and public gardens and garden centres - getting behind the scenes as often as we can. We have quizzes, videos, speakers, and slide-shows. We hold meetings in members' homes, and view progress with their gardens. Members put forward ideas for each programme. The programme is now on the web site.
