What we do

Welcome to the third gardening group for U3A members. I hope this will be as successful as the other two groups and that it will provide a stimulating forum for swapping ideas, plants and experiences.

Hopefully we can accommodate 20-25 people by holding our winter meetings at the Abbot Hall Social Centre where we will have room for demonstrations and slide shows or films.

The idea for the first meeting is to get to know each other, hear about each others gardens and possible areas of knowledge or expertise and find out what we, as a group, would like to do during the year.

Please come with your ideas and we can, hopefully, compile a programme for the year. I thought it might be nice if you could also bring some photos of your gardens and any plants you might have spare to swap or buy. Money from the plants sold could go into a pot to perhaps buy in some local experts to talk to us ......... anyway these are my initial thoughts so I hope you will join us on Thursday 6th. November, 2-4p.m.
