Welcome to Wheathampstead Horticultural Society!

Wheathampstead Horticultural Society has an enthusiastic membership of around 100 and is interested in all things horticultural.

The Society meets most months on the first Wednesday at 7.30pm in the hall at St Helen’s School, Brewhouse Hill. We enjoy a variety of excellent talks, many by well-known garden designers, broadcasters and plantsmen and women.

We arrange visits to beautiful gardens, hold an annual plant sale in May and a Summer social. So there’s lots going on! Annual subscription is only £10.

Visitors to our meetings are always welcome, £3.
