Gardening Group
We are a group of gardening enthusiasts who have been meeting on the second
Thursday of each month for over 20 years at Walton Village Hall. Our season is from
October to March and a visiting speaker gives a talk at each meeting on a subject of
interest to everyone who has a garden. It may be a professional or an amateur who
can reveal ideas and hints for growing flowers and bulbs or perennials and
evergreens. Come along and enjoy swapping ideas or just socializing over a cup of
tea and biscuits. Each year we organise a visit to a local garden where refreshments
are available. The picture shows last year’s visit when about 30 members turned up.
