Lowdham Horticultural Society was founded in 1893 and comprises a very active group of members covering all age ranges (including Juniors), whose interests span horticulture, handicrafts, cookery and photography.
The Society’s Constitution was updated in March 2013 and can be found here. We are affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society. Our membership fees are low and provide many benefits, including a greatly subsidised seed/plant scheme.
Evening visits to open gardens, and day trips by coach to other shows and larger gardens are arranged for the summer. We have a series of monthly talks in Lowdham Community Room at 7.30pm during the autumn, winter and spring. Non members are welcome (£3 charge).
There are usually five Committee meetings per year, in addition to the Annual General Meeting, which is usually held in October.
