Society
If you love gardening and live in the parish of Winsham and
surrounding areas, joining the Winsham Horticultural Society is
a great idea. For £4 a year each or £6 for a joint membership,
you get reduced price entry to our regular garden talks through
the year, discount on plants at Groves and Little Groves
nurseries, as well as at Combe Dingle nursery, the chance to
join trips and visits to gardens in the area, and the
opportunity to share tips and seeds with like-minded gardening
fans. We have a raffle at all the events, tea and homemade cakes and there’s even a free buffet at the AGM! The society organises a very popular plant sale in May, our big annual horticultural show in August and a fantastic open gardens event every two years. Enjoying the support and enthusiasm of gardeners of all ages, we’d be thrilled if you joined us in this sustainable and long-standing village society. To apply, email the secretary at lrcopas@btinternet.com |
In recent years, Winsham Horticultural Society has organised an annual Summer Show at the end of August. Located on the Upper Recreation ground it is housed in a large marquee, and offers many categories of exhibits, with a large number of trophies which have been contributed over the years.
The Winsham Open Gardens Exhibition has also taken place in recent years, alternating with the Winsham Street Fair event at the end of June. This is linked to a display of Scarecrows made by village residents to the delight and amazement of all.
It also holds an annual plant and garden accessory sale in the Jubilee Hall every year on the first Saturday in May, together with numerous outings and talks throughout the year, culminating in the AGM in November.
