TORQUAY & DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
- for those interested in gardens and plants -
The Torquay and District Horticultural Society is for people both within and outside Torbay who are interested in gardens and plants.
• The aim of the Society is to promote horticulture as a creative, educational and artistic pastime, to inspire a taste for horticultural knowledge and to make that knowledge available to as many people as possible. Also to hold and sponsor flower shows, meetings, garden visits and any event which promotes the Society’s aims.
• We meet regularly in Torquay from Autumn to Spring for talks on plants, gardens and gardening, as well as related wildlife, travel and ecology. At most meetings there are also competitions for floral art, fruit and vegetables, and indoor and outdoor flowers and plants. (see the page links on the left)
• Coach trips are arranged in Spring and Summer visiting gardens and shows. (see the page links on the left). We also organise some private visits to members' gardens and nurseries.
MEETING VENUE
