DEDHAM AND DISTRICT
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Meetings are held in the Assembly Rooms, Dedham at 7.30 pm with Speakers’ evenings on the first Wednesday in the month.   The Society has a varied programme of talks and events – please see below.   The annual subscription is £5 and new members are always welcome.

Outside visits are also popular and latterly members have been to Wisley and Wakehurst Place.  This year was no exception and forty-six members enjoyed a splendid day at Kew Gardens.  

After the AGM in May the 20010/11 season got off to a good start with a very successful  Annual Plant Sale held in Royal Square Dedham where members donated surplus perennials, vegetable plants and shrubs;  many a bargain was to be found which all helped to raise money for the Society.   This was followed at the beginning of June with a Coffee Morning  at Brook House, the home of two of our members in Dedham, where members and friends were able to enjoy their beautiful garden, and take time to talk to fellow gardeners as well as taking advantage of the plant and book stalls.
