Cringleford & Eaton Horticultural Society
We are a thriving club with about 50 members attending our monthly meetings
We offer advice and help for gardening problems calling on the multifaceted information available from members. As well as growing flowering plants and designing gardens we are proud to encourage composting of household waste, vegetable growing and gardening for wildlife all of which we consider to be very important in this environmentally conscious age.
We have small flower and vegetable shows at all of our meetings, plus specialised shows on specific dates(see below). Annually we hold a large show in August or September whilst in May we run a Plant Sale Day.
We also produce a bi-monthly newsletter of gardening advice and hints. Click the flowerpot for this months gardening advice from Barbara Knowles.
