Fernhurst Horticultural Society

Fernhurst Horticultural Society is your local gardening club. Anyone who is interested in plants and gardening is welcome to join no matter what type of garden they have-large or small, established or new, a conservatory, or pot plants on the patio.

The aim of the society is to encourage interest in gardening and provide opportunities for members to exchange experience and increase their knowledge of plants and gardens. Three types of activity are organised each year. Shows in spring, summer and autumn. Days out by coach and evening talks by visiting speakers during the winter. For the dates of these activities see our diary of events.  Also details of forthcoming events are posted on our noticeboard outside the Post Office.   In addition the society participates in the Fernhurst Revels.

We welcome new members and the annual subscription is just £5.  Check out our membership page for details of the many benefits of becoming a member. Find out more about the Society by reading a copy of the Schedule, which is available at both the Post Office and the Fernhurst Centre.  For further information contact the secretary Bob Pennington by email or telephone  01428 664406

Summer Show 2010: This year we have a new Trophy - The Jo Bishop Trophy this beautiful cup has been donated to the society by David Bishop in memory of his late wife Jo.  A prominent member of the society, Jo regularly exhibited at the shows winning many prizes and trophies over many years. The cup is awarded for that which the judge considers to be the exhibit he or she admires most. Hence the title “The Judges Choice”.  To view photos of Summershow 2010 click here
