Garden talks for 2025
Many thanks to Higgy for his excellent talk on garden photography. Some great examples and tips on how to take better photos. Thanks also to everyone who came to the meeting despite the weather. We’re looking forward to seeing your photos at the spring show.
Next Meeting
Our next gardening talk will be on Wednesday 12th February 2025, starting at 7.30pm in the URC Hall on Stockway North in Nailsea. Our speaker will be Mark Bullin, talking about “Fungi in fact and fiction”.
We are in for another interesting talk this month! Mark will be giving us the “what, why, when, where and how” of studying or collecting fungi, for eating or otherwise, he’ll also be showing examples of equipment, guide books etc. We’ll also be taking a look at a dozen or so varieties and what makes them interesting or unusual.
if you want to see what else we have planned you can see the 2025 line-up here.
Nailsea & District Horticultural Society
Our Mission
The Society exists to encourage all aspects of gardening within Nailsea and the surrounding districts. It does this by organising flower shows, holding a series of monthly talks on gardening subjects and arranging occasional outings for members to gardens and other places of interest.
What We Do
A spring show is held on the first Saturday in April and a summer show on the first Saturday in August. The shows are held in Nailsea School, Mizzymead Road, Nailsea.
The Society’s monthly gardening talks are held in the United Reformed Church Hall, Stockway North, Nailsea on the second Wednesday in each month starting at 7.30pm. These talks take place in each month except August, when there is a summer break, and November, when the Society holds its Annual General Meeting.
