With reference to events, we hold a Spring and Summer Flower Show, a plant sale, a coach trip, three speaker evenings and a couple of quiz nights each.  Below are details of previous events to give you a flavour of what we're about.

May 2026   Coach trip to Lepe

15 members went on a day trip to Lepe Country Park where they spent a couple of hours exploring the woodland walk, bird hide, boardwalk and the sensory garden.   After lunch it was onto Lepe House Gardens, a stunning 14 acre spring garden, where we were shown around the coastal garden, woodland, walled garden and arboretum by the owner and head gardener.   The tour was followed up with tea and cake and the opportunity to sit on the terrace and take in the views.   If you weren't lucky enough to join us, Lepe House Gardens opens one Sunday each April as part of the National Open Gardens Scheme 

May 2026 Plant Sale

The plant sale has now become an annual event, with plants being donated for sale at a bargain price, along with members who've taken a stall to sell their own plants, produce and crafts.   This year we even had a queue outside waiting for the event to open
