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.
Membership is £15 per person per annum.
Guests welcome, at £5 per event.
There has been a change to the published programme and the next talk on Monday 9th October will be
Sue Mabberley: Re-wild Your Garden
Throughout the development of the garden at Nant y Bedd, Sue has worked closely with the living landscape in tune with the flora and fauna of the valley. She will talk about how you can make a beautiful and productive garden that is in many ways still wild.
