We are a friendly group of people who share a love of gardens and gardening. Our experience varies but none of us are experts. The aim is to learn more about plants, gardens and gardening by sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas.

In Spring, and often Autumn, we share plants, seeds and cuttings from our gardens and there’s usually a visit to a Garden Centre. Occasionally someone might give a short talk on some aspect of gardening, but mostly we will chat together about our gardening loves and hates.

In the warmer summer months we arrange visits to private gardens in the area. Generally these are involved in the National Garden Scheme. The visits are always very interesting, varied and pleasurable and usually end up with tea and cakes.

If you share a love of plants and gardens and want to meet up with like-minded people you will be most welcome.

Our July visit was to Long Owl Barn, Coedypaen. It had meandering paths extensively planted over the years with herbaceous perennials except for an old Eucalyptus tree with a wonderfully coloured trunk. There was a small orchard and two ponds accessed by a steep slope. We were shown around and well informed by Mike and Tina Booth. Our visit finished with tea/coffee and delicious home made cakes.
