We are a friendly group of people who like to talk and learn about anything to do with gardens. New members are always welcome to come along and meet us before they join the Club. Subscriptions are £6.00 for individual and £10.00 for each couple.
In the winter we have monthly meetings usually in Thursby Parish Hall every 3rd or 4th Monday from 7.30pm to 9.00pm. A presentation from an expert followed by a chat and a cup of tea makes for a lovely evening. During the Summer we get out about for 2 evening trips and our annual summer day trip to interesting gardens. We also have fundraising events. Member volunteers look after community spaces in the village.
There really is lots to interest everyone so do come along. Phone one of us for more details.
