As spring unfurls its green fingers across Finchley, it’s time for budding gardeners to dig out our gloves and get planting.
Here are 3 local gardening clubs to get you started:
1. Finchley Horticultural Society, N3
Founded in 1940, the Finchley Horticultural Society has a focus on accessibility for all. There are even raised beds available for people with disabilities on the Gordon Road site.
Their calendar is packed with horticultural events, offering members a chance to immerse themselves in the gardening world.
2. Hampstead Garden Suburb Horticultural Society, N2
With a modest membership fee, you gain access to heaps of benefits including social gatherings, discounted rates at local garden centers, and even coach trips to stunning gardens.
The society was founded in 1909 and hosts two annual flower shows and a Big Seed Swap.
3. Totteridge Garden Club, N20
Established in 1959, the Totteridge Garden Club is a cornerstone for people interested in gardening without the pressure of becoming an expert overnight.
Meetings are held monthly at the Village Hall in Badgers Croft. They offer a blend of advice, information, and social interaction centered around gardening.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or someone who can barely tell a daisy from a dandelion, our local gardening clubs offer a space to learn, grow, and connect with fellow plant enthusiasts.
So, why not put on your gardening gloves and join a community that celebrates the joy of gardening?
A little dirt under the nails is good for the soul. 🌱
