We welcome all our members to check the notice board on a regular basis for updates following recent meetings, or any need to know information about forthcoming meetings.
At each meeting members may present something for the Spotlight table from your garden that you are proud of and you wish to show, for example; cut flowers, bulbs, vegetables. Entries are judged by our visiting presenters, awarded points and a running total accumulated. The overall winner for the year will receive free membership for the following year – so it’s worth entering!
The results below are for 2023/24, congratulations to our winners:
| Position | Member |
|---|---|
| 1st | Hazel Booth |
| 1st | Mary Davies |
| 3rd | Richard Macer |
| 4th | Sally Macer |

This is the monthly journal of the Royal Horticultural Society distributed free to all members and affiliated members including a copy to The Littleton and Harestock Gardening Club.
It contains considerable information about gardens already owned by the RHS, namely Wisley, Rosemoor, Hyde Hall and Harlow Carr, and information about other gardens which have been/are being acquired and developed.
There are reports of garden visits by well known horticulturalists including Roy Lancaster who spoke to us some years ago, and reports on other gardens, a few of which we have visited on our summer coach outings.
There are articles on pests and diseases, and much more of interest to gardeners.
The Journal circulates amongst a few Club members, but must be of considerable interest to many more. If you wish to see a copy, please
give your name and membership number to one of the committee members and you will be added to the rota.
