Previous events
These have included our Horticultural Summer Show, visits to Malvern Spring and Summer Shows, RHS Wisley, Hampton Court Garden Show, Highgrove, and Chelsea Flower Show. We have also run a plant swap, herb stall, flower arranging tutorial, and a Cheese and Wine evening following our AGM amongst other things.
The Society organised a 100th Anniversary trip to Rutland in June, which was very well attended. A trip on Rutland Water, a wander around Barnsdale Gardens and a wonderful “Geoff Hamilton” afternoon tea all made for a great celebration.
There will be lots to look forward to in 2025 so look out for the updates.
