AN INVITATION from PURBROK HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
If you are not aware of your local Horticultural Society we hope that this may be of interest to you. The Purbrook Horticultural Society has been active for over 80 years with a range of interests which are listed below. We currently have a membership of about 300 households and we are always keen to increase this number.
The annual subscription is only £5.00 per household. Our members have a wide range of interests - allotment holders, home gardeners, specialist gardeners of chrysanthemums, dahlias, fuchsias, roses, daffodils and vegetables, etc. Some members’ main interest is the social calendar. Activities throughout the year include:
- A Trading Store, open every Saturday morning from 9.30am to 11.30am selling a wide range of horticultural goods at very competitive prices - advice and companionship are given free of charge! The Store can be found on the A3 between Widley and Purbrook.
- Interesting monthly meetings with excellent speakers and slides on a wide range of topics, held at the Deverell Hall on the first Thursday in the month, at 7.30pm.
- A Spring Show.
- A Quarterly Gazette
- A Grand Summer Show in August which is open to all.
- Summer outings by coach to places of interest in the south of England.
- A Floral Art Club which meets on the third Thursday of the month, 2pm start, at the Deverell Hall, with demonstrations and workshops.
If you would like to know more, please come along to a monthly meeting, visit the Store, or contact a member of the Committee. We would be very pleased to see you.
