Events
Our evening talks are free to members. Visitors are most welcome to join us at all meetings The cost for a visitor to attend one of our regular meetings is £3. At our AGM the fee may be a little higher to cover the cost of a more expensive speaker.
Talks start at 8pm but we invite you to come along at 7:30pm to socialise over a cup of tea or a glass of wine.
Each garden visit is individually priced and open initially to members only - contact us for more information. Our garden visits are a particularly social event: we normally have a glass of wine or a refreshing cordial after the garden tour.
