If you enjoy gardening, or would like to learn more, make this the year that you get going! Growing your own flowers, fruits and vegetables is very satisfying. It is also pleasurable and can save you money! The Gardening Club can help you take that first step and we are a very friendly group of all ages, so if you just want to come along and see what it’s all about, we would love to welcome you, whether you are a complete beginner or are an experienced gardener. Membership costs only £10 per year and includes free admission to all our interesting talks, held on the second Friday of the month in the Kilmington Village Hall. For information on how to join, please see the ‘Who we are’ page.

Latest News

On Saturday, 7th September, the Village Show took place despite the weather forecast looking ominous. There was plenty to see and do although the wet ground conditions meant that the programme had to be changed at the last minute, with hobby horses being replaced by rubber chickens (don’t ask!)

Garwynn’s Reprtiles and Bugs proved as popular as ever and Professor Bumble kept the children endlessly entertained with balloon-making, tricks and magic.

The dog show was a great hit with a beautiful golden retriever winning the title of ‘Best in Show.

Classic vehicles were displayed on the field and were admired by the many petrolheads in the village.

The Gardening Club section of the Show featured the many varied and impressive crafts, preserves, baking, photography, art and junior classes.

A list of the winners can be found on the Show page.

We are delighted to welcome Hugo Bugg as our speaker in October. Hugo is known throughout the horticultural world for winning a gold medal for Horatio’s Garden at Chelsea in 2023. The garden, created with his design partner, Charlotte Harris, also received the prestigious RHS Chelsea Best in Show award the same year. His talk is entitled Creating Gardens with a Sense of Space.

Tickets will cost £5.00 for members and £10.00 for non-members and can be obtained by contacting Bev Perkins on 01297-631801 or [email protected].

Booking essential. Bar and refreshments will be available for sale on the evening.

Our September speaker was Lady Christine Skelmersdale, a well-known authority on bulbs, whose talk on Creative Gardening with Bulbs gave us a wealth of advice and inspiration.   For the description of her talk, please click here.
