The club was formed over fifty years ago and is named after the three villages where the originating members lived, i.e. Hornton, Horley and Hanwell.  Today whilst most of the members still come from these villages, the membership is open to just about anyone irrespective of where they live in the area.

Membership is £10 per year and the meetings are held in the Hornton Sports Pavilion at 7.30pm every month except December and January. The meetings are open to members, member’s guests and prospective members. Visitors to the club are welcome and are charged 50p, which includes tea and biscuits. Meetings are generally in The Pavilion, but during the warmer months can be outside visits to formal gardens of interest locally.

The meetings consist of a welcome by the chairman, a short business session then an informal forum about horticultural matters raised by members and a speaker on a related subject of interest.

In May there is a sale of plants, either grown by members or obtained from nurseries around, at below market prices, and in August there is a produce show with cups and shields awarded for prized entries, with sections for cookery and children’s entries.

The club is an informal gathering of like-minded gardeners who, once a month exchange ideas, greetings and garden related items via the ‘Bring and buy’ accompanied by free tea and biscuits.

Why not come along, you’ll be made very welcome and you won’t be disappointed.
