We invite a variety of speakers, arrange outings and hold social events throughout our annual programme, as well as a plant sale, a produce show, and a quiz.
We currently have just over 90 members and new members are always welcome. The annual subscription is £20 which includes entry fee to the monthly meetings and refreshments (excludes celebrity speaker events). Once a year, we have a celebrity speaker – these are ticketed events costing £20 per person. Non-members are welcome to attend monthly meetings, with an entry fee of £4.
Celebrity speaker events are open to members and non- members alike, and are ‘ticket only’, bookable in advance.

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 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.
On Tuesday evening 27th September, over 160 people were entertained by Adam Frost. Adam talked about his gardening career over the years, along with numerous ideas how to plan and plant up a garden. Following refreshments we had a questions and answers session.
Adam was generous with his time and answered a variety of questions from the audience.
Some photos from the evening are now in out Gallery
Helmingham Hall outing 18th September.
Members and friends enjoyed a day out at Helmingham Hall plant and artisan fair. We were disappointed with the lack of support for the outing, but despite this, members all had an enjoyable day and returned with lots of plants etc, and the lovely weather added to the day.
The club held its annual Produce Show on the 10th September 2022. Despite the very dry summer we were amazed with the entries in the vegetables and fruit sections. All other categories were also well supported.
The Cyrina Howlett cup, presented to the person with the most placed entries was won by Carolyn Jenkins.
We have added several photographs to our gallery page.
We have finally managed to get some photos uploaded to the new Gallery page – here you’ll find some photos of previous events, sales, and members gardens. Please feel free to send some of you pictures in and we’ll add them to the page!
Welcome to the Lavenham Gardening Club’s new website. We hope you find it informative.
We have created a Gallery of photographs covering past events during 2021 and 2022 interspersed with pictures of member’s gardens.
The Countdown Clock is set to the start of The Show at 4.00pm on Saturday 20th September.
