The aims of the society are to promote all aspects of gardening from the small front garden, to the largest of plots, kitchen garden and allotments. If gardeners also have a wish to show the results of their efforts in the twice yearly village shows then they are encouraged to do so. Help and support is offered to those who need advice. We as a society also organise some events, which are not directly connected to gardening but are fun all the same.
The society has been going for a very long time, about one hundred and twenty years in fact, with breaks only during the time of the two world wars. Like all organisations it needs new faces and ideas, to keep it thriving and vibrant. If you have a love of gardening in any form please join and take part in the activities on offer.
Every year two shows are held, one in spring about the first Saturday in April and the other on the first Saturday in October. There are classes for flowers, vegetables, fruit, cookery, handicrafts, wine and photography; these depend on the season of the year.
Two plant sales with coffee mornings are also held, one in spring and the other in the autumn, the money raised from these events is used to support the two shows.
 
A garden walk is arranged, during summer, to a local garden within about twenty miles of the village, with members making their way to the venue in their own transport.
 
An all in garden themed holiday is arranged every year, either in this country or abroad, with visits to gardens arranged on most days and also with spare time for sightseeing
