‘Our aim is to learn, encourage, and share good gardening practice and to promote knowledge of related topics. We share a passion for nature and beauty, lovely gardens, and growing all types of flowers, shrubs and trees, and vegetables’. The first gardening club in Wotton under Edge was inaugurated in 1862. The Annual Show attracted over 1000 people, many arriving by train. Previously known as the Wotton Horticultural Society, the name was changed in the 2000’s to present a friendlier and more inclusive image. A varied programme is organised using the best speakers available and visits are arranged in June and July to local gardens, nurseries and places of special interest. Whilst the talks are mostly garden related, we also have occasional talks on some of the most beautiful parts of the world. We hold a Spring Show and Plant Sale and an Autumn Show and Plant Sale each year.

We keep membership fees as low as possible (£20 for 2025 including tea and coffee at our indoor meetings) and visitors are especially welcome (normally £4 for indoor meetings).

At our indoor meetings, there is a tabletop competition; where members may enter pot plants, cut flowers, garden produce and the like which they have grown or nurtured themselves. We have a raffle with prizes donated by members and plant sales from time to time.
