Enborne & Hamstead
Marshall Garden Society
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
was created in 1984 from a
society whose origins go back to 1910. Members (and
guests) meet four times a year, usually on
a Wednesday evening:
• in spring (end of March
or early April) either at a garden centre or
in the village hall to hear a talk
• in summer (end of June
or first week in July) usually as an evening visit
to an interesting private garden
• in autumn for the AGM, wine & cheese and quiz
evening
• and in December for a
Christmas-themed talk.
First Saturday in September
is the Flower Show
& Fete, usually at
Hazel Paddock (opposite Enborne School). There are many classes of
competition (open to members, parishioners and
others) spanning fruit, vegetables, herbs,
preserves, bakery and crafts. The show includes
stalls, a tea tent and usually a band.
New members are always
welcome. The annual
subscription is £5 per individual, payable on
1 January each year, and entitles the member to
certain garden centre discounts.
Contact either
Dawn Taylor (8 Church Close,
Enborne, 01635 32006) or

Avenue, Wash Common, 01635 48701).

is a womens’ group for

membership: newcomers are welcome, and regulars are
encouraged to bring friends.
