Welcome to Worplesdon Garden Club

Worplesdon Garden Club is a friendly and enthusiastic club which meets every second Tuesday of the month from 8-10pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre, Stoughton, Guildford, GU2 9SJ.  Doors open from 7.45pm and you can find a map here.

We have a full schedule of speakers  throughout the year, educating and entertaining us on a diverse mix of Horticultural and Natural History topics.  Talks and slide shows are interspersed with refreshments and the evening provides plenty of opportunities to socialise and browse the plants on the plant stall and take part in the raffle for some fantastic garden-related prizes.

The Club also has a range of social events throughout the year including Garden Visits, Lunches, Barbecues, and Horticultural Shows.

Visitors and new members are always guaranteed a warm welcome.  Membership is only £15 for the year from January (£8 from July). Please Contact Us if you would like any more information on our meetings or activities or to come along as a visitor (£3).

Club Meetings

Our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 12th November at Emmanuel Parish Centre, Stoughton from 8-10 pm (doors open from 7.45pm) will be our last speaker-talk of the year with a look at 'The World of Alpines'.  Jon Evans will give us an overview of alpines  - enough to whet the appetite and anyone who might not have looked at growing any of these small but often colourful and varied plants.  Typically originating from mountainous regions, they are usually very hardy and drought tolerant in the UK and love growing in pots in the sun.  As an added bonus, Jon is an excellent photographer and we can look forward to some stunning pictures of alpines in the wild, from shows, and perhaps from his own garden on the Hog's Back. 

Our October meeting was a visit to the Veg Garden with 'The Veg Grower's Year' presented by Alan Williams.  Alan is a seasoned allotment owner and shared the planning and execution needed to successfully grow, maintain, and ultimately harvest produce from an allotment or vegetable garden.  Of course, you don't always need a lot of space to grow fruit and vegetables and many can be incorporated within a mixed flower bed with great success.

The Autumn photographs from our Members' gardens and elsewhere are on the September Photographs page, as well as photographs from our August Summer Show and Social.
