It meets once a month (except August and December) for either talks, held in the Village Hall, or visits to local gardens, plus an annual coach trip to a garden further afield. Occasionally there is a Social Evening (with wine, etc.) which can take the form of a Photo Evening or a Gardeners' Question Time.
