What we do
We meet on the first Monday of every month in a different member’s garden, swap advice, plants, seeds and produce. We have a mix of experienced and less experienced gardeners and it has been both interesting and inspiring. However, with 17 members this group is now over full.

We have had some very good meetings. We had a seed sowing in April at Yvonne Langhorne’s house and found we all had myriads of plant which germinated. In May we visited Gilly Newberry’s garden in Barbon and in July we went to Jane Willis’s Garden for a talk and discussion on compost making.
