Welcome to the website of the VPA, the Holmer Green Gardening Association

Talk, Thursday 16th April 2026, 7:45pm, Church Centre, Featherbed Lane

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Richard Anderson is unable to present his talk in April, although we hope to arrange another date in the future. Linda Meatyard is trying to find a replacement speaker, so please keep an eye on this website for further details.

Talks at the Prestwood Gardening Society

Don't forget that we have a reciprocal arrangement with our friends in the Prestwood Gardening Society whereby our members can attend each other's talks at no cost. You can view Prestwood's programme here: Events Calendar - Prestwood Gardening Society (e-voice.org.uk)

Spring Show, Saturday 28th March 2026, Holmer Green Village Centre

Our first show of 2026 takes place at the end of March, a little earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Easter. As usual, it will feature spring flowers, as well as domestic classes, photography and art. You can download a show schedule here. Even if you don't want to show, why not come along to view the exhibits - the Show opens to the public at 2pm, with the prize-giving at 3:30pm.

Outing to RHS Garden, Wisley, Wednesday 6th May 2026

Terry and Val Owen have kindly organised this, our annual trip to an RHS Garden. The coach will leave from Holmer Green at 9:15/9:25am and leave Wisley to return home at 3:30pm. The cost (coach only, admission is free) is £18 per person. You can download a booking form here or collect one from the Trading Store in Beech Tree Road on a Sunday morning.

Trading Store open for 2026

Our Trading Store is fully open for business each Sunday morning and we have now received our main delivery of bulky products like compost. Members can renew their membership at the Store on any Sunday between 10am and mid-day. Copies of the 2026 Show Schedule are also available at the Store.

No more discounts at Hildreth's Garden Centre or Peterley Manor Farm

We have learned that, from 1st September 2025, Hildreth's no longer offer our members the 10% discount on horticultural purchases. Apparently, this is because they have launched their own loyalty card costing, we believe, £5 per annum. We also understand that discounts are no longer offered by Peterley Manor Farm.
