About Us

AGINCOURT GARDEN CLUB
The Agincourt Garden Club welcomes all novice, regular and expert gardeners. It is an opportunity to learn and exchange ideas with fellow gardeners.

Our Club is now 70 years old and is open to those who have an interest in the world’s largest and most popular hobby. If you have a curiosity to learn more about horticulture/gardening, exchange ideas on growing of flowers, fruits and vegetables, see beautiful floral designs created by our members, share growing methods, get tips for growing plants, share gardening information, get enjoyment that comes from achieving the production of a living thing and join in good fellowship - we welcome you.

We have expert speakers at our meetings to teach and give us new information on a variety of topics. You can also participate in bus day trips to various gardens and nurseries. Throughout the year we have many flower shows. In May we have a “Plant Sale” where members of the Club bring plants from their own gardens for sale to the public. In September we host a “Flower & Vegetable Show” which includes a tea room that is open to the public.
