3Hs Garden Club – Plant sale on Saturday 16th May

3hs’s garden club chairman Mike Patching says:

We all have slots and spots in our borders, beds and green houses where we have run out of plants, so make a note of this possible solution:

The 3h’s garden club annual plant sale which runs from 10am (not a minute earlier!) to noon on SATURDAY 16th MAY at THE PAVILION, Hornton.

There you’ll find a wide range of top quality flower and veg’ plants, many of which have been commercially grown and donated to 3h’s for the sale, and many more that have been lovingly grown by members, but all are of high quality and a lot cheaper than you’ll buy them elsewhere. This event is our major fund raiser for our club so please try to come along and find the solution to your spare slots and spots.  All very welcome.
