Clubs and Groups
Pluckley Gardening Society
The village of Pluckley is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Pluckley Gardening Society does not go back quite that far — only as far as 1950! Back then the main stalwarts of the PGS calendar were the shows in Spring and Autumn and these are still very popular today. Although entries are judged by an RHS approved judge (no chance of favouritism or nepotism!) and prizes are given for exhibits the emphasis on the days is on coming together in the village hall to admire and enjoy what everyone has brought. There is something for everyone on show days, floral or vegetable devotees, regardless of age and experience as can be seen from the Schedule (please see below). Why not cast your eye over the classes and compare the contents of your garden. If there is a match — you have an entry and a possible winner!
In addition to the shows PGS does exciting trips to places of interest. In recent years these have included Highgrove, the private gardens of Buckingham Palace, Saltwood Castle and many others.
Membership for this friendly, busy, and always informal society is £7.50 per annum. If you enjoy being in the garden, love plants and flowers, and want to meet likeminded people from Pluckley and surrounding villages you need to do no more than contact pluckleygardeningsociety@gmail.com when a member of the committee will get back to you. Alternatively, read all about us in the Newsletter (please see below) and see how to contact the Chairman or Secretary by telephone if that would suit you better.
We want to hear from you and want you to join us!
