THE GARDEN CLUB
Membership
Everyone in the village is a member as of right and we also welcome
people from outside the village to our events.
Subscriptions
There aren't any ! We charge a small entry fee for our events to cover
costs. We also run raffles and coffee mornings and are always pleased to
accept contributions in the way of prizes or produce to help maintain
traditional handicrafts of the village.
We hold events each year of interest to Gardeners and to
help to raise funds for the Village garden show..
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CLUB
A Flower Show Committee was formed more than 50 years ago as part of the
war effort to help in the growing of food to provide food for hungry
mouths. Our oldest prize the Home-guard Cup dates back to these times.
After the war the emphasis remained on food production as shortages and
rationing lasted till well into the fifties. Gradually flowers became
equally important and handi-craft skills were introduced into the show.
