Purbrook Horticultural Society
Purbrook Horticultural Society was established in 1940. We are a dedicated band of fellow gardeners, flower growers, and all things horticultural and craft wise. Located in Purbrook, the PHS has constantly expanded with more and more members joining all the time.
We offer monthly meetings, trips, days out and competitions for the serious gardening enthusiast. More than however, we extend friendship, and the society has grown in numbers and allowed people to come together in a social way too.
