Pontesbury Gardening Association

The Pontesbury and District Gardening Association are a not-for-profit group which aims to encourage gardening in all its forms.  Based at the Trading Post on Station Road they open every Saturday morning from to , from February until November, selling garden material to members and offering advice for free.

Our very own Master Composter Rob Dixon, is the Chairman of the Society and spends many a Saturday morning offering compost advice at the club.  They also organise events and coach tours to go and look round nice gardens.  Membership costs just £2 per year or £1 for retired persons.  For this you get access to all the gardening seeds and tools which they can bulk buy to enable discounted prices for members.

They also organise an annual show on the last Saturday in August where entries are accepted from all gardeners. There is a social evening on a Thursday evening each May when anyone with an interest in gardening can come along and meet like-minded people. There are also plant sales and exhibitors of interest to gardeners; refreshments and entry is free.

The club are based at The Trading Post, Station Road, Pontesbury, Shropshire, SY2 5TZ. For more information contact the Chair and local Master Composter, Rob Dixon on 01743 791901
