Gardening Society Activities
The Society has been in existence since 1970 and has grown over the years to a membership of nearly 70. The invited speakers talk on such diverse subjects as Plant-Hunting in China; History of Hidcote Manor Gardens; Vegetables; Pruning; Growing from Seed; Container Gardening; Wild Flowers, and Gardeners’ Question Time, to name but a few. Many of these talks are accompanied by slide shows and demonstrations.
There are two annual all-day coach outings, usually each visiting two gardens and incorporating a lunch-time pub meal, and a more local evening visit, also followed by refreshment at a nearby hostelry!
An Annual Show gives members an opportunity to display their own home-grown plants and vegetables, including a floral art section for those with flower-arranging skills.
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month in the Crawford Hall, Salford Road, Bidford on Avon at 7.15pm for 7.30pm. Annual membership is £17.00, and visitors will be very welcome to join us at only £3.50 per evening, including refreshments. More details of forthcoming events can be viewed by clicking on the 'Programme' and 'Upcoming Events.'
