Welcome
to the homepage of the Yapton Cottage Gardeners Society website. We are a very
active Society - each year we hold four shows, where members and guests have the
opportunity to show their flowers, fruit and vegetables, floral art, cookery and
photos. We also always have a large number of competition classes for children.
As well as our shows, we hold members' meetings when speakers entertain us with talks and slide shows on a variety of
topics, some horticultural and some of general local or topical interest.
We hold two plant sales a year and put on entertainment for our members
and guests in the form of barn dances and annual concerts. Please have a look at our events calendar
NEXT
EVENT: 1 October 2016 - Autumn Show 2 - 4 pm, Yapton and Ford Village Hall Our
final show of the year so your last chance for 2016 to have a go at
exhibiting. If you have in your garden a large sunflower head, a
huge marrow or pumpkin or perhaps a big and heavy potato, carrot or
apple, then we have a class for you. We also have slightly more
serious classes for chrysanthemums, dahlias, fruit and vegetables,
cooking, handcrafts, floral art and photography. There are
classes for children - please see our Children page.
Staging is from 8 - 10.15 am and the show opens at 2. Do come
along for a cup of tea and a piece of David's legendary cake, to enjoy
the show and perhaps to take part in our raffle and tombola.
There will also be cakes and preserves for sale. A plea for jam jars :
several members of your committee make jams and chutneys to sell at our
shows to raise funds for the Society. We are always short of
jamjars. If you can collect any and bring them to one of our
events, we would really appreciate it. We will steralise them and
supply new lids, but if you could rinse them out first, that would be
great. Many thanks.
We always welcome new members - please see our Membership section for
details of how to join, at a cost of only £6 per year per household.
