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 8pm in Wheathampstead Memorial Hall, Marford Road. 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 an Annual Autumn Show in September. So there’s lots going on! Annual subscription is only £10.
Visitors to our meetings are always welcome, £3.
