Lydden Vale
Gardening Club
You don't need to have a large garden
to be interested in plants and like
growing them. Window sills, pots and
containers and house plants can
provide year round scope for the
enthusiast. So why don't you come
along and meet us?
Anyone interested in joining, please contact: Jan Burnett at greystonebn@yahoo.co.uk or phone 01300 348627 Lydden Vale Gardening Club on Facebook
Buckland Newton Community Website
in the heart of rural Dorset
The Lydden Vale Gardening Club meets on the second
Wednesday of each month between September and April in the
Buckland Newton Village Hall enjoying a mixture of talks from
guest speakers, practical sessions where you can learn top tips for
all things gardening. During the summer months we visit award
winning gardens, garden centres and enjoy Alfresco Social
evenings.
We welcome all ages and levels of experience and are keen for all
generations to benefit from the enjoyment of gardening. If you live
in Buckland Newton, Pulham, Glanvilles Wootton, Kings Stag,
Alton Pancras or neighbouring parishes and if you’re interested in
having a fine garden or rewilding, planting or harvesting the results
of your labours, or simply visiting gardens and learning about the
history of gardening, we would love you to have you with us.
If you are not already a member of the Club and are interested in
gardening and think you might like to join, we would love to hear
from you. Please do get in touch by emailing Jan at
greystonebn@yahoo.co.uk
