During the winter months (October to April, with the exception of December) we meet and enjoy illustrated talks from local and national gardening speakers at:
The Old Barn Hall, 55 Church Road, Great Bookham Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23 3PQ
The meetings are on Saturday mornings. The venue is accessible for those in wheelchairs and there is a loop system for the hard of hearing. We usually open the doors at 10.00am and free tea and coffee are served. At 10.15am there is a plant sale where you can buy good-quality home-grown plants at very competitive prices and, in April, there is a seedling sale. In addition, there is a range of garden sundries, HPS booklets, second-hand gardening books to buy, and a raffle.
At about 10.45am, the Chairman will officially start the meeting and a guest speaker will talk for about 1 hour followed by a question-and-answer session. The topic will relate to plants and gardens.
Visitors are welcome at all our meetings and pay £7. This charge also applies to national HPS members who are not members of our group and friends of members.
