We meet on 1st Wednesday of the month at St Teresa's from 10am-12noon unless a garden visit is planned. £2 fee includes tea, coffee, biscuits.

The aim of the group is to bring together people who enjoy gardening and gardens. In the summer months we visit public and private gardens by car or coach. In the winter we have guest speakers covering many aspects of gardening.

If you think this would appeal to you please contact Iris Hallam.
