Lymm Gardening Club

Welcome

Thank you for visiting our site, we hope you find it helpful and look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings.

We are a friendly group with a common interest in gardening. We meet each month and our talks are varied with a wide range of excellent speakers, on all aspects of gardening.

Members also have the opportunity to join zoom meetings at various times in the year and listen to speakers from other parts of the country.

We have a sales table which sells various gardening sundries and often plants. As well as speakers we also have trips and visits to gardens through the summer months, a Lymm V/illage Plant Fair and an annual meal.

Members recieve discounts at some local nurseries and garden centres (see bottom of this page for details.)

We also have an RHS card offering free entry to RHS Gardens, which can be borrowed by members - please enquire at any meeting.

Hostas

by Robert Barlow.

Robert Barlow along with wife Margaret have over 500 varieties of hostas in their collection. Their collection was awarded a Plant Heritage National Collection status in 2018. Their collection contains over 120 hosta varieties which have been introduced by British breeders, many of which are now very rare.
Following retirement, North Staffordshire Hostas is run by them as a hobby, to support their national collection. Robert is a member of the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society.

May Events

Our May trip to Harewood and Harlow Carr went very well, thank you to the organisers. Our next trip will be the July meeting at Lane End Cottage Garden

Lymm Plant sale in Lymm village hall on Saturday May 17th was very successful. Many plants and seeds were donated and there was lots of buzz around the Village Hall, where gardening advice was well received.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this, and thank you also to Lymm Parish Council who paid for the hire of the Hall.
