Waterperry Gardens Club

 Welcome to Waterperry Gardens Club!

Introduction

Waterperry Gardens Club is a voluntary organisation. We bring season ticket holders and Waterperry village card holders together to enjoy social and horticultural events such as coffee morning talks, volunteering and tours of Waterperry Gardens led by an expert in their field.  Coffee mornings include coffee, shortbread and a good catch up, a talk and then usually a tour in the gardens.  We are very fortunate that Rob Jacobs, Horticultural Manager is normally able to clear his diary for our coffee morning talks and tours. Rob is adept at making us feel 'part of the team', and he also gives handy seasonal tips for gardening at home.  Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, there will something special for you!We aim to support projects within Waterperry Gardens; this year we will focus on planting, in woodland, in the arboretum and in other sites within the gardens. We also aim to promote horticultural education at Waterperry, e.g. for apprentices and training, and to contribute to the Mary Spiller Educational Bursary.If you have taken the step of buying an annual Waterperry ticket, why not join us for coffee mornings and other events? There is no membership fee. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Waterperry Gardens Club.

April Coffee morning 

Tuesday, April 2nd

Wonderful Ranunculaceae! Rob showed us some beautiful members of this large family which were in flower at this time of the year adding colour to the gardens.  Mostly exquisitely small and delicate and often missed by us, especially as their flowers are short-lived and low on the ground.  Rob urged us to keep looking down to see these lovely Spring flowers.
