Potters Bar & District Horticultural Society

The Society aims to help, guide, instruct and inform those who are interested in horticulture. The fortnightly meetings at Elm Court consist of talks, slide shows and demonstrations on all aspects of horticulture. These meetings are friendly and informal, welcoming both beginners and life long gardeners of any age. All that is needed is an interest in growing plants.
The annual programme is issued in December for the following year. Spring, Summer and Autumn Flower and Vegetable Shows are held which are open to all the membership. Domestic classes are open to members and to their families.
