Interest Groups - Gardening
Interest Groups - GardeningWe are a small friendly group who like to visit local gardens and nurseries to gain ideas and learn more about gardening. Most of our members belong to the Royal Horticultural Society and/or The National Trust, but this is not essential.
2006 Programme - members will meet in the recreation ground car park in Lower Road, Fetcham, one hour before the time stated on the original programme, to enable members to share cars. It is therefore essential for members to ring either Joan or Beryl a week before the outing to let us know if you are coming and/or if you require transport or directions.
