Oakridge Garden Club
Do you love visiting gardens, both public and private? Do you love gardening? Would you like access to top quality bulbs and seeds at a discount or to hear top speakers on gardening topics in convivial surroundings? It doesn't matter if you have 'Green Fingers" or not. We have something for you all!
Formed over forty years ago, the Oakridge Garden Club is very active and welcomes new members from both Oakridge and farther afield. Our programme provides lots of opportunities to get together with like minded gardeners and garden lovers and includes visits and talks, a Summer Show and a great Christmas Social!
- All of our meetings are held at Oakridge Village Hall at 7.30pm.
- Details of visits are provided nearer the date. A modest charge is made for each garden visit which usually includes refreshments. Car shares can be arranged.
- An 'Open Gardens' day is usually held in Oakridge during the summer.
- Seed catalogues and discount code are available in October.
- The Annual subscription for 2023/24 is £10 per person paid at the AGM in February, or during the year to the treasurer.
