2022 PLATINUM JUBILEE YEAR – 70 YEARS AS A SOCIETY SINCE 1952
We are an active society promoting a range of different activities for everyone interested in gardening. We host monthly talks provided by gardening experts. Details of talks for 2024 and 2025 are under the Programme page. Details of any visits arranged can be found under Society Trips .
Our next “meeting” will be a Zoom meeting in conjunction with the Tender Shoots Garden Network. Dr Andrew Ward is giving a talk on “Gardening in a Changing Climate”. Members can view this “meeting” by logging onto Tender Shoots. Full details on the Tender Shoots page. We had hoped to broadcast this meeting at Beckminster so members could still meet up prior to the talk but unfortunately the WiFi at Beckminster is not powerful enough to stream into the Hall.
Our last meeting was on Wednesday 9th October at Beckminster Church Hall. Duncan Coombs gave a detailed talk on his trips around China entitled “A Traveller in China: Autumn colour, The Tropics and Gardens“.
Further details on the Programme page.
The Society is affiliated to the Tender Shoots Garden Network. New talks have just been announced for the Autumn.
Details of all talks will be shown on the Tender Shoots page.
The autumn chill sets in.
Although we had some warmer days over September, the autumn is now definitely here for real, and it feels colder. It’s a beautiful time of year, with the trees changing colour. Sometimes it may seem pointless raking, when the wind blows even more leaves onto the lawn, but just think of all the lovely leafmould you can make! It’s also time to start preparing for early frosts.
. ….. The Royal Horticultural Society and BBC Gardeners World websites give reminders of jobs that need doing this month.
New members and visitor are always welcome. Talks are free to members and £4 to non members. Membership details are on the Membership page along with details of member discounts available at local retailers/nurseries. A map showing how to find us at Beckminster Church Hall and meeting times are shown on the Find us pages.
