The Great Bridgeford and District Garden Guild holds its meetings at 8 p.m. on the second Monday of each month except in January when there is no meeting.
Anyone may join the guild and the subscription is £5.00 per year with concessions at £4.00 per year
The meetings consist of a very short business side to the proceedings and a different speaker is invited each month to speak on all aspects of gardening.
Although gardening in all its aspects is the main theme we do try to engage speakers occasionally on other subjects such as the countryside, canals and the environment in general. We also have an annual Horticultural/Craft Show is held. This is an Open Show on Sunday, 22nd August 2010 when anyone may enter or come along to look around for the afternoon and enjoy a cup of tea with us. Details of the 2010 show have yet to be finalised, but you can see 2009’s schedule by clicking on the button marked Annual Show (bottom left page margin).
We welcome anyone to our meetings as a visitor with a view to becoming a member (members do not have to live in the village).
