About the Society.

The Winterslow and District Horticultural Society was set up in 1940 with the objective of the improvement of horticulture in Winterslow and the surrounding District by the exhibition of vegetables, flowers and fruit, and anything of interest suggested to, or by, the committee.  Full details of how the Society is organised and run are contained in the Constitution.

In addition, to the Spring and Summer Flower Shows and other events organised by the committee, benefits to members include affiliated membership of the Royal Horticultural Society.  Another important benefit to members is the large discount obtainable by the Society from Dobie's seeds (up to 52% on seeds (depending on size of order) and 10% on plants and other items). Please note that to obtain the discount, all the initial orders have to be sent off together.  To be sure you don't miss the boat, contact the Secretary for a catalogue and details of how to apply.  Order forms for plug plants can be obtained from the Secretary but will also be available at the Spring Show and Plant sale.  Members also get a free copy of the Year Book which contains full Show details, official entry forms, and further useful information about the Society.

Membership is open to all and annual subscription is £5 per household. 

Most of the Society's events will be held at the Village Hall, entry to which is free.  Details, including venues for Trips and events not in the Village Hall, can be found in the attached events programme .
