There has been a Gardening Club in Bridport since at least the 1850s. We currently have over 600 members in Bridport and the surrounding district.
We have ten monthly meetings at the WI Hall in North Street, Bridport welcoming a guest speaker, an outing once a month during the spring and summer. We aim to have a members holiday every other year and hold a popular Christmas lunch in December.
Happy new year gardeners.
As the bulbs force their way through to herald spring again we can begin to look forward to events and activity in our gardens. We will be circulating the full programme for 2022 including the shows, meetings and outings with the next Newsletter.
However, sadly Paul Atterbury’s talk on 20th January is now postponed due to the ongoing issues caused by Covid. Please pass this on to anyone you know who was going to attend. We will announce a new date when we can.”
Margaret Genender – Chairperson
We are affiliated to the RHS; the Gardens Group’s Gold Club; Dorset and Somerset Federations of Horticultural Societies; the Daffodil Society; and our sponsors are Clive and Diana Groves.
Contact details for officers of the Bridport & District Gardening Club are available on the Membership Card.
