Kenilworth Horticultural Society exists to further interest in horticulture, and provide activities of interest to members within Kenilworth and the surrounding district. The Society, formally the Kenilworth and District Horticultural Society, was formed in March 1890.

Evening Meetings

We have evening meetings every month except January and invite speakers to talk on a variety of topics related to gardening and plants. These meetings are also an opportunity to meet other keen gardeners and share ideas, tips, friendship and plants and to hear what else is happening in the area related to gardening. 

Full details of the evening meetings we have planned for this year can be found on the Evening Meetings Page below.

Shows

We  run three shows each year, in Spring, Summer and Autumn. 

The shows all have various classes for flowers and pot plants. Our main show in September includes vegetables, fruit, preserves and cakes. 

There is also an annual competition to grow the best plant. Plug plants are purchased in March and April and they will be judged in August. In 2023 it was a Fuchsia and the photo shows some of the entries

Outings

We also arrange group visits to gardens, horticultural shows and other places of interest. Sometimes we visit members gardens.

We aim to run one outing in the summer and will announce the details as soon as they are settled.
