TIMBERSCOMBE GARDENING CLUB. CREAM TEA AND PLANT SALE 25th May
The Gardening Club had a successful Plant Sale on Monday. The plant stall was busy and the church was filled with folk enjoying the teas. It was a bit cooler inside than out!!
Thank you to everyone who helped from making delicious cakes and scones to helping on the day – you know who you are. Thank you to to all the folk who came along and supported the event. Hope the plants you bought give you pleasure in the years to come.
There are still some plants available and can be found on the grass to the left of the church entrance. Don’t leave them too long! Donations for these can be put into the box on the wall inside the church. Many thanks.
Our next event is our visit to Rocking Horse Cafe 11th June.
Our small, friendly, gardening club has been running since 2012 meeting in in St Petrock’s Church at 7.30pm on the 1st Monday of each month, unless other wise stated, commencing in March.
We have a variety of speakers, on a wide range of topics, followed by a raffle and refreshments. A competition of ‘the best flower in my garden today’ is held at each meeting and a small prize is awarded, at our annual Christmas social, for the most points over the year. You do not have to be a gardener, or even have a garden to join. We welcome new members, just come along for the talks and the social chit chat.
Members are encouraged to grow seedlings and plants to sell at our popular annual plant sale and cream tea. We try to have two trips to local gardens, with a cream tea afterwards, during the summer months. We also encourage members to support the Village Show, held annually, in August.
Subscriptions will remain at £10 a year and then £1 per meeting. Visitors £3.00 New members and visitors are always welcome.
