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 2025 /26 are under the Programme page. Details of any visits arranged can be found under Society Trips .
The Society’s next meeting will be the Annual General Meeting and Spring Show held at Beckminster Chruch Hall. Exhibits for the Spring Show can be staged from 7.00 pm and the AGM is likely to commence around 7.30 pm. This is a Members only meeting but new members can join on the night. The meeting ends with a buffet and members are asked to provide a plate of nibbles for the event.
The Society has now arranged a number of garden visits for 2026. All trips will be “self drive” but some lifts may be available. Admission fees are payable on the day of each trip and non-members are welcome, subject to numbers and for a £4 surcharge. Full details on the Society Trips page.
The winners of the March “Spring has arrived” competition have now been announced and updated on the Competition page.
Our last meeting was a very informative and entertaining talk by Val Bourne on how she developed and the seasonal changes at her Cotswold garden entitled “Spring Cottage – Gardening with Best Beloved”. More details on the Programme page.
The Society has now registered with the Thompson & Morgan Group Discount scheme. This will entitle members to 50% discount off seed packets and 20% off plants. More details are on the new Thompson & Morgan page.
The Society is affiliated to the Tender Shoots Garden Network. Details of all talks are shown on the Tender Shoots page.
Gardening in April
Sunshine and Showers
Spring is in full swing, with tulips and flowering cherries in bloom. Expect the inevitable April showers this month but with sunny days too, when you can turn your attention to the veg plot. It’s an exciting month as you start to sow outdoors. Just watch out for frosts and keep any tender plants indoors for now.
. ….. The Royal Horticultural Society and BBC Gardeners Worldwebsites 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.
