Welcome to the Fowlmere & Thriplow gardening club website. We have been established since 1962, recently celebrated our 60th anniversary and are affiliated to the RHS. The club meets on the 1st Thursday of every month with a guest speaker covering a wide range of topics. There are exceptions to this. In the winter months meetings are held in Fowlmere village hall and in the summer at Thriplow village hall at 7.30pm.

It is a very sociable group, a place to exchange ideas or just a casual chat over a cup of tea and biscuits, available at the end of the talk. We hold a garden show every 2 years in September, the next one is in 2026. In the summer we have a 3-4 day coach tours covering the length and breadth of the country, visiting gardens. We also provide day trips.

Membership for 2025 is still £10, but will increase to £15 from January 2026. Visitors are always welcome at a cost of £5. At the meetings there is a flower competition with the winner getting a £5 voucher, also a plant stall where members are encouraged to bring their surplus to be sold and enjoyed by others. We are supporters of the charity Perennial.

You don’t have to have a garden or even do gardening yourself in order to join us, so give it a try.
