Lavington & District Garden club has been running since 1974, with meetings held the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
With guest speakers every month, we aim to provide you with useful information, help and guidance to ensure you get the best from your garden, whatever shape or size.
Our friendly club has members with experience of all levels from expert to novice and newcomers are welcome.
Annual fees are £15 per year. You can try us out though for free or just pay £2 per meeting if you want to only come to individual meetings.We aim to provide a varied mix of speakers at our monthly meetings. The meetings are open to all, why not come along.
