Winsford Gardening Club

​

Many thanks to the twelve people who attended our first Gardening Club meeting on Tuesday.  The level of interest has been great as many others are interested but couldn’t make the first meeting.  We all enjoyed tea, coffee and cakes, and discussed ideas for our Gardening Club which included:

​

• Sharing which jobs need to be done each month.

• What grows well in Winsford and what doesn’t.

• How to grow fruit and veg

• Inviting expert gardening speakers to our meetings.

• Visits to each other’s gardens.

• Sharing seeds, cuttings and plants.

• What to grow without a greenhouse.

• Organising visits to gardens of interest and other places. 

It was agreed that the club would get together at 11am on the second Tuesday each month from May to October with an additional meeting in January.  The cost is £2 if the meetings are held in the village hall or £1 if held at someone’s home where Gardening Club refreshments will be used.

​

Everyone agreed to set up a WhatsApp group to keep each other informed. If you are interested in joining the Winsford Gardening Club, please let me know, and I will add you to the group.

​

The next meeting is at 11am on Tuesday 14th July and will be kindly hosted by Mel and Dave in their garden.
