Welcome to
Quorn Garden Club
A varied programme of talks, outings and activities is organised throughout the year. For talks and gardening demonstrations we meet on the third Thursday of the month at 7:15 pm in the Church Rooms, Church Lane, Quorn, LE12 8DP (map). All indoor meetings are free to our members; visitors are very welcome for a charge of £5 per meeting. We have a refreshments/social break midway through each talk/presentation. In the summer months we have visits to local gardens and places of horticultural interest, for which an additional charge may be made. In June we hold an annual Plant Swap.
You may join us as a new member at any of our regular indoor meetings or, alternatively, print & complete a membership form and send to our Membership Secretary.
