Chalfont St Giles Gardens Association
Our interests range from serious competitive growing through to those who just like pottering about in the garden.
In any case the essence of the Association is enjoyment of each other's company. It's good fun too.
Meetings every second Thursday in the month at 8.00pm in the Memorial Hall, School Lane.
Annual Subscription is currently £11.00 per household payable in October.
Included in the Subscription are:
• Up to 10 interesting talks per year by guest speakers showing slides
on gardens and related themes
• An informative newsletter every month
• Refreshments at meetings in the Memorial Hall
Additionally members also enjoy:
• Discounts from selected nurseries
• Coach outings to gardens of interest between April & October
• One five day holiday in June or July
• A Summer Lunch
• A Christmas Party
• A monthly seed exchange
• An annual plant sale in May
The proceeds of the seed exchange are donated to local charity.
The Association also manages the Horticultural Tent at the Annual Chalfont St Giles Show.
