Visitors Welcome

Bring & Buy Table

Members are encouraged to bring one or two plants or home produce (i.e. eggs) with an approximate value of $10 to ‘swap’.  You are given a ticket in exchange and after the talks, the numbers are randomly drawn, you pay 50 cents and pick an item from the table.

Library

We have an extensive library where you can borrow a book/DVD for a month. The Library also houses our free Seed Bank.

Plant Sales

If you have surplus plants of good quality, you can bring them along to the Club to sell - 10% commission goes to the Club.

Display Bench

Members bring along a favourite plant. 

(14 categories). Category winners selected each month. There is also a lucky draw prize every month for all exhibitors, and there is a prize and shield for the overall winner at the end of the year.

Barry's - Show and Tell

Barry is a very entertaining member. Each month he gives a light-hearted talk on what is growing - or not growing - in his and other members gardens.

Visits & Bus Trips

Visits to members gardens are arranged on the 3rd Tuesday each month. These are followed by lunch at a local tavern/restaurant.  We organise overnight bus trips and trips to other groups Field days during the year. In 2016 members traveled to the exotic gardens of Singapore and in 2017 members will visit the beautiful gardens of New Zealand taking in The Taranaki Garden Festival.

Guest Speakers

A variety of speakers talk on gardening and community topics.
