This
group meets on the second

Church Hall on Church
Lane Marple. The meeting is from 10am - 11.30am.
The cost of £1.50 includes
coffee, rent

This is a more practical gardening
group as we have speakers who provide practical hints and advice as
well as those who give illustrated talks on commercial and private
gardens, N.C.C.P.G and on growing more exotic plants such as Orchids.
Do come
