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.
Notice to all Members
As our meetings, outings and other public events are cancelled for the foreseeable future the Bridport & District Gardening Club will not be collecting subscriptions for the year April 2020-21.
If you pay by Standing Order we will arrange a refund at a later date. Keep your current membership card – when they re-open their doors we will ask Groves to accept it until 2021.
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.
