About Us

Ebrington and District Gardening Club was established in 1979. Gardening and horticulture has been at the heart of the community in Ebrington, Charingworth, The Hidcotes and Chipping Campden for well over a century with the villages at the forefront of vegetable and fruit growing to help feed the nation.

 

Many local family names are synonymous with this history- Drinkwater, Righton and Fisher to name a few.  The emphasis may well have changed over the decades but the desire to nurture and grow vegetables and flowers continues to flourish in our communities.

The Ebrington and District Gardening Club provides an informal environment for members to meet up and exchange gardening ideas, learn from gardening experts and professionals, visit gardens and generally have a sociable time with gardening at the forefront.

​

The Ebrington and District Gardening Club has a sociable and informal approach to organising its annual programme of events. Including a varied and interesting annual programme of talks, visits
and social events along with a very competitive Spring Flower Show and Summer Show.
To achieve this we have regular meetings of “The Committee” a group of members who work hard to make sure the program of events run without a hitch.
