STOCKSFIELD PLANTS & GARDENS SOCIETY
We are a small friendly society, formed in 1964 and based in Stocksfield, which aims to encourage interest in plants and gardens. Our members range from beginners to seasoned gardeners and bring a range of skills and expertise. We support local charities and local gardening and environmental projects in and around Stocksfield in order to develop and maintain the range of habitats and biodiversity found in our area. All are welcome and we enjoy sharing our horticultural experiences.
Our meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm, October to April, except in December when we meet on the second Tuesday of the month. We hold our informative monthly talks at Stocksfield Community Centre. How to find us.
Visitors (£5) and new members (£10) are welcome at all our talks and events. Membership provides a good opportunity to learn new things and meet new people. We are also affiliated to the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) and have access to their advisory service and magazine “The Garden”.
