Welcome

Membership of the Club is open to all Abington residents with an interest in gardening and gardens. The Club offers:

Meetings programme
 

An informative and entertaining programme of talks in autumn and winter. These are on a mixture of topics, some designed to prompt new thoughts for your own garden, others to describe visits to interesting gardens both in the UK and overseas. Meetings are held at the Village Institute on the first Monday of the month during October to December and February to April. The 2022/23 programme is set out below, and meetings are also announced in the Abington and Hildersham News.
