Welcome to the Llanthony Valley and District Garden Club
The Club brings gardeners here together to share their experience of gardening in this difficult Black Mountains location - with its special problems of gardening at higher elevations and shorter growing seasons.
It runs a series of meeting in Cwmyoy Memorial Hall at 8.00pm on the second Monday of each month, between September and May. The meetings are chosen to cover a really wide range of subjects: everything from herbs to historic gardens; from pests to propagation; as well as having visits by well known garden celebrities.
Come along to learn from the experts, meet other local gardeners, enjoy a cuppa and have a flutter on the monthly raffle.
We look forward to seeing you. You will be made most welcome!
Membership is £15 per person per annum.
Guests welcome, at £5 per event.

8pm on the second Monday of every month
Laura Willgoss last month will be a hard act to follow. The talk was full of ideas about planning modern herbaceous borders to give pleasure all year round, to achieve exciting colour balances and a satisfying aesthetic while being as ecologically sustainable as possible.
However on April 8th we are very fortunate to have Sarah Price, one of Britain's leading garden designers, coming to talk to us about her approaches to making a garden. This is certain to be a really interesting and inspiring evening.

Sarah Price: Reframing the Wild Garden: New Perspectives on Garden Making
Sarah will lift the lid on her methods of garden making, showing how we don't have to choose between beauty, practicality and sustainability. Through considered choice of plants, and a circular approach to sourcing materials, her gardens are low impact, innovative and rich in wildlife. Examples will be drawn from local projects, with Sarah focusing in on the development of her own garden in Abergavenny.

Sioned Edwards: A floral demonstration using flowers and foliage from local gardens and hedgerows
"Nothing gives me more pleasure than gathering flowers from the garden and combining them carefully. I enjoy capturing their intricate detail and delicate forms to create whimsical and untamed arrangements. I use all sorts of accessible mechanics to to keep sustainability at the heart of what I do. Flowers have a restorative nature that brings calm and beauty to any room. I'm looking forward to sharing creative and simple ideas with garden flowers that can all be replicated from your gardens and into your houses."
