Dore Garden Club was established in 2008 to encourage local interest in and enjoyment of gardening and growing. Our members include keen gardeners, allotment holders and house plant enthusiasts.
Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month from March to November (with the exception of August) in Dore Methodist Church, 3 Savage Lane, Sheffield, S17 3GW. Doors open at 7.10pm and the evening runs from 7:30 pm to approximately 9:00 pm.
Membership is open to all and costs only £18 for 9 meetings. A warm welcome is also extended to visitors who pay £4 per event on the door.
The Club holds a varied programme of talks and occasionally demonstrations which appeal both to gardeners and those interested in nature and the local landscape. To find this year's programme Click Here
A popular feature is our plant table where members can bring any spare plants of their own to sell and buy new ones. Proceeds are shared 50%-50% with the club. Some of our speakers also bring a selection of their bulbs and perennials to sell.
As well as the monthly meetings there is an annual coach trip to gardens and other sites of interest. Visits in recent years have included Norwell Nursery near Newark, Breezy Knees Nursery near York, Brodsworth Hall and Gardens and Taylor’s Clematis Nursery near Doncaster.
