Wilberforce Gardeners

Wilberforce Gardeners is an informal group of local residents interested in gardening whether in pots, window boxes or larger gardens. It is not a club and everyone living in Wilberforce Road and adjacent streets can take part. You don't have to know anything about gardening to get involved. We meet our costs by selling donated excess plants and home baking at our twice-yearly plant sales. Wilberforce Gardeners have an 8 x 20 ft unheated greenhouse for local people to use. Here are some pictures of the greenhouse with plants ready for sale.  If you are interested in using the greenhouse or just in gardening generally please get in touch.  Drop a note in at 30 or 131 Wilberforce Road, or email: wilbgard@blueyonder.co.uk if you wish to receive Wilberforce Gardeners email notices.

The Wilberforce Gardeners Spring Plant Sale will be on Sunday, 18th  May, 11:30 to 2pm outside number 30 Wilberforce Road.

 

The sale will feature a variety of summer bedding plants, some  perennials, some houseplants, tomato seedlings and a few herbs and the like.

 

There will also be tea and cakes area and a second-hand book stall.

 

Keep your fingers crossed for some warm weather and sun to bring on our tiny seedlings!

 

We welcome assistance on the day and with leafleting the week before the sale: volunteers welcome! Contributions of seedlings, perennial divisions, rooted cuttings and houseplants are always of use as are donations of home baking.

 

Here are the Wilberforce Gardeners Growing Notes for this season’s plant sale.
