We are a friendly gardening society in East Kent with over 100 members from across the parish of Ash and the neighbouring areas of Sandwich, Woodnesborough, Wingham & further afield. Our members range from farmers, professional horticulturists, allotment holders and flower arrangers to active gardeners and not-so-active gardeners who enjoy seeing a colourful display outside their windows and visiting other people's gardens.
We actively encourage children to participate in the society and have links with local schools.
Our meetings are held in Ash Village Hall, Queen's Road, Ash, Nr. Canterbury. CT3 2BG on the 4th Thursday of the month at 7.30pm.
