About us
Founded in the 1940s, the Society has grown and developed into a successful, well-established part of the
local community. We work with residents and local businesses to provide opportunities to share gardening experience, open up some of our beautiful gardens, to hold annual social events where
residents from the area can exhibit and compete against each other in a range of classes and to simply celebrate each other’s successes.
There are currntly 12 committee members and we meet usually once each month. Our AGM is held in November of each year.
Over the coming year, one of our key areas of focus and promotion will be in how gardeners, small or large, can incorporate more sustainable, eco-friendly practices. We will show-case what is going on locally and help raise awareness of how simple but effective, even small changes can benefit our wildlife.
We donate funds to a number of causes, local and beyond. For example, last year we managed to raise £1200 for the Ashdown Forest Foundation. We welcome donations and practical help so please contact Frank (Chair) or Steve (Secretary) if you would like to assist in any way you can.
