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 on Wednesday 11th December at Beckminster Church Hall. This is our (now) traditional hands-on event for members to develop their skills. This year we will be making Christmas Table decorations on the theme of Bells. Some greenery will be provided but members are asked to bring their own greenery and accessories. Mince pies will be provided by the committee.
Further details on the Programme page.
The winners of the November “Tree” competition have now been announced and details of the December competition released. All details on the Competition page.
Our last”meeting” was a Zoom meeting in conjunction with the Tender Shoots Garden Network. Dr Andrew Ward gave a very interesting talk on “Gardening in a Changing Climate”.
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. There was an informal get-together for members to meet for coffee and cake at Codsall & Wergs Garden centre on the morning of 13th November instead.
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.
Winter Frost
As we approach the shortest day of the year in December you will need work to keep you warm outside, such as digging and tree pruning. Check your winter protection and if you have a greenhouse make sure the heater is working. Hopefully there are not too many jobs left to do this year so you will have time for some fireside garden planning.
. ….. 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.
