Welcome from the Chairman
It’s a privilege to be the Chairman of the
Elham Gardening Society.

main annual show in July which usually attracts many compliments

so there should be something
for everyone – why not try your luck!
Another opportunity to meet us is at our open
gardens weekend. This starts on Saturday 19 June this year and is in
aid of the National Gardens Scheme; the next day Sunday 20 June is
in aid of local charities. Look us up in the Yellow NGS book.
Ploughman’s lunches will be available at the Kings Arms in the
Square for just £5, as well as teas in the Old Vicarage.
