THE NEXT ANNUAL SHOW WILL BE ON 24TH JULY 2021.
In the absence of last year’s Annual Plant Sale and Show, Maureen Barton, a member of our committee,
set up a Facebook page “Growing Together” to encourage people to garden.

She provides tips, advice and practical videos from her own garden. In just 9 months there are
now over 4,200 followers and lots of appreciative feedback. During Lockdown she
has created two further Facebook pages, within the restrictions of Covid 19,
for followers to swap surplus plants and produce, and to share seeds for
sowing. For further information see https://www.facebook.com/groups/1431012233745894/?ref=share

The Horticulture Society has been nominated to be one of the charities to receive money from the Co-op Community Fund from 28 OCTOBER 2020 to 23 OCTOBER 2021. The money raised will go towards the cost of putting on the Annual Show.
The support of the Co-op has been invaluable for recent shows and helps to go towards the cost of the large marquee which is what makes the show unique and traditional. A big thank you to all those who chose the Society as their charity and to the Co-op for their Community Fund for support during the funding period that has just ended.
