Gardening (Group 2)

Status:Active, open to new members
Coordinator:
Group email: Gardening (Group 2) group or Gardening (Group 2) group
When: Monthly on Monday mornings 10:00 am-12:00 pm
After the Main Meeting (Normally 3rd Thursday Monthly)
Venue: Methodist Church Hoddesdon

Meetings are normally held once a month on the Monday after the Main Meeting at 10am in the Hoddesdon Methodist Church Hall, Middlefield Road, Hoddesdon. We also make visits by coach to interesting and beautiful gardens.

Although the group has a large email list, many people only come to meetings or trips, not so many do both so we are happy to maintain this email list. If there is anyone who hasn't received an email recently it's probably because the list being used is old and needs updating, so please email any changes to the group leader.

We have been invited to visit a garden in Little Hadham at some time between May and September.  Let Suzanne if you are interested and I can give you further information. 

I heard a speaker talking about Talliston House and Gardens a 3 bedroom house in Great Dunmow that has been transformed into a labyrinth of fantastic rooms. Please contact Suzanne to obtain information on visiting times etc.

If you would like to be put in touch with the Leader of this Group, or want to find out more about what the Group does, please send us a message through the 'Link to "Group Leader Contact" at the top of this page and we will get back to you by email or phone, if you have included it in your note.
