The Gardening Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month and the cost is £2 (usually including tea and cake!)

 

Meetings during the summer take place at a fellow member's garden, where we discuss the individual plants, what is currently happening in our gardens, and plans for the coming month.

​

Items the club aims to cover include

​

• Sharing which jobs need to be done each month.

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

• 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.

• How to grow fruit and veg

​

• Harvest ripe vegetables daily

• Prune summer-flowering shrubs once they’ve finished flowering.

• Collect berries before the birds eat them all

• Mow lawns lightly and frequently – short clippings best left on lawn
