PLANT SALE
LAVENHAM Gardening Club holds a Plant Sale in May. The Plant Sales are well established events, supported locally and a perfect opportunity to fill your garden at reasonable prices.
The plant sale includes annuals, perennials, shrubs etc. Donations of plants are always welcomed and obviously increase the variety of plants on offer. The plant sales provide the club with a main source of income, so if you have plants to divide or surplus cuttings and seedlings please let us know!
SOCIAL EVENTS
Our main social events are the summer garden party, usually held in August, and the New Year Party, held at the end of January. Both are very enjoyable events, with catering and wine provided. The New Year party, held at the Village Hall, also includes entertainment during the evening.
Our Garden Celebrations Event will be launched in 2025.
Our events calendar is packed with talks, trips, social events and Celebrity speakers.
We held our annual summer garden party on Wednesday evening 7th August, in the delightful setting of Little Hall gardens Lavenham. Over 50 members joined us for a very sociable evening. A bonus was a dry evening for us all. Please go to the Gallery to see all of our photos, including this event.
On the 27th March the members enjoyed a wonderful evening with the delightful Leanna Monika. This was Leanna‘s first talk she had done to a group and she was amazing. Leanna is self taught florist, with a natural flair, and grows most of her flowers for her arrangements. Leanna demonstrated how to make an Easter Wreath which was then raffled, we also enjoyed photographs of her work. Leanna lives in Hitcham, and I encourage you to visit Leanna’s face book page or Google her.
The events for this year and the beginning of next year have been posted on the site. Some will have further details nearer the time.
We have uploaded a couple of images from our New Years Eve Party.
Members enjoyed a wonderful evening with entertainment provided by “Shanty Folk” a popular local group. The group raised money for the RNLI, and proceeds from the evening, with Raffle and collection raised £270.
