allotment holders, and we offer membership nowadays to anyone who has an interest in gardening of any sort. Currently membership is only £3 per household per year. We aim to provide something for all our members by providing - A distribution store offering most gardening requirements at reasonable cost. Advice is available here.A programme of talks on gardening and related subjectsCoach outings to gardens of horticultural and historical interestAn annual 4 day holiday Additionally there are opportunities to meet with fellow enthusiasts and admire local gardens at our ‘Garden'Natter Mornings’ and occasional ‘Open Gardens’. Plant Sales are held annually at the distribution store (the‘hut’) and at talks. Quarterly newsletters keep members informed.On each August Bank Holiday Monday the Emsworth Show is held on the Horndean Road Recreation Ground.This is based around a large marquee which houses our cookery, craftwork and photography.
