Hamstead Marshall
Garden Society
Circle of Friends
The Enborne & Hamstead Marshall
Garden Society was created in 1984 from a society whose origins
go back to 1910.
Meetings are held three
times a year, usually on a Wednesday evening: in the spring
(end of March or early April);
summer (end of June or first week in
July);
and autumn (including AGM and social
evening). The gatherings may be at a garden, a garden centre or
the village hall, depending upon hospitality available. The
AGM, after which there is a social evening and quiz, is held in
the village hall.
The annual flower show is held in
Hazel Paddock, opposite Enborne School. There are many classes
of competition, open to members, parishioners and others. Look
for announcements in What's On on this
website or in the Hamstead Hornet.
The annual subscription is
£3 per individual, £5 joint, payable on 1 January
each year.
The secretary is Penelope
Lake, who can be contacted on 01635 48701.
