SANDON GARDENERS' CLUB  

The Gardeners' Club was formed in the Autumn of 1977 by a small band of keen gardeners to promote and encourage gardening knowledge and skills in the village. We currently have over thirty paid up members. We meet every second Monday of the month during the year. At these meetings we have talks and demonstrations on all gardening related subjects. These meetings are held in Sandon Village Hall at 7.30 pm unless otherwise stated in the programme.

In the summer months we arrange visits to gardens including our own members. Visits in the last few years have included Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk, Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, and RHS Hyde Hall in Essex.

Unfortunately we have had to increase our membership rate to £10.00 per year. There is a further charge of 50p at meetings for coffee / tea and biscuits, non members are welcome at a cost of £ 1.00 per meeting.  

We are a friendly group and welcome all gardeners from complete novices to the specialist expert who might get their arm twisted to deliver a talk or demonstration. We endeavour to provide something for every one.
