Our Poplar Gardening Club has been going for over twenty-three years and has always been well supported by the local community. Meetings are held once a month in our restaurant with a guest speaker at each event talking about a wide range of gardening topics. There are also competitions giving members a change to show off their best blooms.
We also have four or five-day trips and a five-day holiday each year visiting various gardens around the country as well as summer and Christmas social events.
We currently have spaces for new members. If you love gardening and would like to meet fellow gardeners please contact us via the email address below. We also invite people to come along as a guest at a monthly meeting at a cost of £5 which includes refreshments of tea/coffee and biscuits.
For all membership enquiries and details please contact: [email protected]
