The Garden Club Fernando Botero
Welcome to our website
The Lodsworth & District Garden Club (LDGC) is for everyone interested in
plants and gardening. You are very welcome to join us no matter what type of garden you have, be it large or small, established or new, a conservatory, a windowbox or pot plants on the patio. We want to encourage interest in gardening in our community, providing opportunities for our members to share gardening experience and increasing knowledge of plants and gardens.
We were established in 1958 by a handful of local gardeners who wanted to organise lectures and hold an annual Flower Show, with Christopher Lloyd opening the very first one. Parameters have broadened with the passing of time and our club has grown to a membership of more than 70 families. Over the years we have organised trips to wonderful gardens including Mottisfont and Highgrove, invited a wide variety of knowledgeable speakers, including some from radio and television like Marina Christopher, Jean Griffin and Ben Law and involved top RHS judges in our Flower Shows and Open Garden Competitions. Our members have been involved in enhancing the appearance of some of our local facilities such as the landscaping of The Lodsworth Village Hall and installing planted containers outside our award winning village shop, The Lodsworth Larder.
During 2012 our planned activities included visits to inspiring gardens, talks, workshops and demonstrations, sales of plants and garden paraphernalia, and
a summer flower and produce show to name but a few. Have a look at the interactive page listing this year’s calendar of events for further details.
We welcome new members from local villages and towns to join the Lodsworth & District Garden Club. The annual subscription is still only £5 for individual members or £7.50 for families. Membership of the LDGC benefits include subsidised entry to our talks and visits, an annual complimentary drinks party and discount from a wide variety of local horticultural suppliers.
Please look at our contact page for further details of becoming a member
and a full list of benefits. We look forward to welcoming you!
