Our evening meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm. They take place in Wilton House, Senior Citizens Club, Abbey End car park (at the top end).

We have a talk on a topic of interest by a guest speaker and share members’ news. We hold shows and plant sales and after the meeting there is an opportunity for socialising and exchanging gardening news and ideas over a cup of tea and biscuits.

The Membership charge for 2026 is £16 plus £1 entry for each meeting attended. 

Visitors are welcome –  The charge for non-members is £5,  so if you would like to attend more than a few meetings it is worthwhile becoming a member.  
Then you will be eligible for the discounts at local nurseries too!
