Sunningwell and District Gardening Club
Saturday, 28 January 2012
In January 2000 a few gardening enthusiasts, mostly from Sunningwell, formed the Sunningwell Gardening Club. Since then, it has grown rapidly and last year we had nearly 50 members from all around the local area.
We meet once a month, usually on the second Thursday, in the Village Hall in Sunningwell, starting at 7.30 pm and finishing at 9.30. We have talks from speakers on a variety of garden or plant-related matters and arrange outings to places of interest to our members. Last year we went to Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire and later to the Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury. This year we are hoping to go to Coughton Court near Warwick and to Woburn Abbey. We also have a couple of social events and a major fund-raising effort in the form of our annual Plant Sale in May.You don’t have to be a fantastic gardener or even to live in Sunningwell to be a member or to come to our meetings – but it does help if you like plants and gardens.
If you would like to know more about us, visit our website www.sdgc.org.uk or come along to one of our meetings. We are a friendly crowd and you will be sure of a welcome.
