Garden Club
Welcomes both 'new shoots' and 'old perennials'! You don't have to be a whizz at gardening to enjoy our meetings, held in East Hagbourne Pavilion.
Hagbourne Garden Club holds regular monthly meetings from September to April on the fourth Thursday of the Month. We invite external speakers to cover a range of gardening topics.
Meetings are held at the East Hagbourne Pavilion, Great Mead, East Hagbourne. Doors are open from 7pm for homemade cake, tea and coffee before the talk at 7.30 pm.
There are two visits to interesting Gardens in the summer months.
A Plant Sale with hot drinks, a cake stall and raffle is held every May (25th May 2024 tbc). Everyone is welcome to come to buy plants and bring plants for sale.
We welcome new members and membership is £18 a year (£30 a couple). Meetings are open to everyone, free to members and £5 to visitors.
