Welcome to the website of the Blofield and District Gardening Club. If you live in Blofield in Norfolk or one of the surrounding areas and have an interest in gardening then this is the club for you. We meet once a month on the second Wednesday of the month for a presentation on some aspect of gardening provided by good quality speakers. These meetings are also an opportunity to socialise with other members with similar interests, to gain advice on gardening matters and to compete with other members in our monthly competition. We have also arranged discounts at local gardening suppliers. Why not join us at one of our meetings to try us out.
Next Club Meeting
All are very welcome to attend our meeting on Wednesday evening, 13th November (7:30 pm) at The Margaret Harker Hall in Blofield. Andrew Sankey, well known garden designer, grower and author of “The English Cottage Garden” will be presenting “Colour in the Garden”. The members’ competition will be “a table decoration to include a candle”.
Guests are very welcome (£2.50 for the evening, including light refreshments). There will be a £1 bring and buy stall, raffle, and an extensive sale of succulents and gardening books. The Club runs a seed ordering scheme in conjunction with King’s Seeds. Catalogues and ordering forms are available at the meeting, with a 50% discount on seeds already achieved this year.
The Club hibernates during the winter, reappearing refreshed and ready for a new season on 12th March 2025.
Summer Show 2024
Many thanks to all who came along to enjoy the Club’s Annual Summer Show at the Margaret Harker Hall in July. Even given the often appalling weather in the spring and early summer, club members exhibited an amazing array of vegetables, fruits and flowers as well as some delicious-looking home produce. Well done to all who exhibited, and thanks to those visitors who came along in the afternoon to admire the produce and enjoy refreshments.
