The 2026 Club Programme of speakers and social activities
Our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 12th May from 8-10 pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre will be a talk by local artist and horticulturalist Julie Verity on 'Beth Chatto, Derek Jarman and Dry Gardening'. Both were pioneers in how to make a stunning garden without the need for additional irrigation - something that is increasingly necessary with the effects of climate change.
Our March meeting was a masterclass on the care, propagation, and sheer diversity of the genus of Fuchsias. Carol Gubler from Little Brook Fuchsias was our expert guide.
There are some lovely pictures on the April Photographs page that capture the beautiful April we have enjoyed this year.
The 2026 Club Programme is available, or you can see the Last Year's Club Programme, the Potting Shed pages, or the Newsletter for more information on Club meetings and activities.
