They always have experienced gardeners around willing to offer advice.
Clubs bring in speakers with expertise in various aspects of horticulture. Annual programmes are organised with the diversity of members’ interests in mind.

There is also an in-house team of speakers capable of responding to general questions during the informal period after the main attraction.
If you’re not sure about committing to a club, try visiting a garden open to the public or a display.
Alnwick Spring Show, at Willowburn Sports and Leisure Centre, on Saturday, from 11am to 5pm, offers an ideal opportunity to experience the feel-good factor that flowering plants offer.
