Vegetable & Fruit Gardening

Meets on 1st Thursday of the month from 10am – 12noon – Venue circulates

We take turns to host meetings, showing our gardens, problems and successes and have a topic for discussion.

In September we have a Harvest Party, everyone bringing dishes made with their own produce if possible.  In the depths of winter we watch a gardening DVD.  In summer we have a few trips to gardens, sometimes using a TASS mini-coach.

Our annual competition has been for the largest squash, the longest runner-bean, the heaviest onion…………….a challenge for us all.

The membership is limited only by the number of cups and seats we can provide and we would welcome anyone interested in growing fruit and veg to join us.

Group Leader: Jan Robinson
