Are you looking for a friendly, active Gardening Club….then read on…
Wroxton
and
Drayton
Gardening
Club
has
been
in
existence
for
many
many
years
but
still
has
an active and interested membership.
We meet at 7pm on the second Monday in the month at Wroxton Village Hall.
We
have
a
speaker
for
each
meeting
with
a
variation
of
topics
that
will
be
of
interest
to
any
Gardner beginner or expert alike.
We
normally
meet
from
October
through
to
April
with
the
summer
off
to
tend
our
own
gardens.
But
during
the
summer
months
we
normally
have
two
half
day
trips
and
one
day
trip
to
some
garden of interest.
We
keep
our
membership
fee
low
at
£12
for
the
year
but
in
order
to
subsidize
this
we
are
very
active
in
fundraising
in
a
very
sociable
low
key
manner
with
a
Strawberry
Tea
a
coffee
morning and a Christmas Party.
We
have
been
complimented
on
many
occasions
on
the
friendliness
of
the
club
members
and
we
would
like
to
invite
you
to
come
along
to
any
of
our
meetings
and
see
if
it
suits
what
you
would like to do…you will be made very welcome.
Details
of
the
meetings
are
posted
on
the
Wroxton
Website
but
also
if
you
become
a
member
you will have a full printed programme with all the information on.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
to
someone
first
then
please
call

on

for
more
information.
