GROUPS
Thruxton Gardening Club
We meet at 7.00, in the Memorial Hall on the last Wednesday of most months. A range of speakers come in and talk about subjects that cover many aspects of the natural world that can range from re-wilding to how to care for your clematis.
We also arrange periodic visits to local (and sometimes not so local) gardens that are not always readily open to the general public.
The annual membership fee is £16

Annual Roundup
Every year, usually around April time, for the princely sum of £1, members purchase an iddy biddy geranium to take home and nurture. Then, at the August meeting they bring them back to the Hall and a prize is awarded for the best specimen. This year, the prize was won by Roger Oliver, who is also our President. Congratulations Roger – good job.
A wooden spoon is also awarded for the one that only just made it through the summer – better luck next year!!!
In July this year, we visited Earlstone Manor. What a treat!. These pictures cannot do justice to its beauty and the care with which the garden is maintained. About 20 of our members came along on the trip and everyone was in total agreement about what an amazing garden it truly was.
Here is our gallery of a few memorable moments from the year.
