Gardening Club
We have 7 talks a year from experts covering all aspects of gardening and flower arranging and widen our horizons by inviting people from the farming community to talk to us.
Other months are taken up with our Social Evening in July Christmas Dinner and, of course, we have our Summer Show in August...a proper village event!

Wed 20th May Talk by Derek Dexter Fuchsias
​
Derek Dexter who is going to tell us
about “Fuchsias my way”. This is a great opportunity to get the best out of our fuchsia plug plants.
Mine are on their way having followed the advice of a previous speaker who let us into the secret of
getting the most out of the new peat free growing medium. Derek has years of experience with
fuchsias so we must listen carefully, ask the right questions, then we will all struggle into the July
social meeting, festooned with amazing plants.
