Llechryd & District Garden Club
Llechryd & District Garden Club was founded in 1983 by a small group of enthusiastic gardeners and today has over 80 active members. It originally met in Llechryd but moved to nearby Boncath in 2007, where the Community Hall has excellent facilities.
The Club has a full annual programme of monthly talks on a wide range of topics, together with a quarterly newsletter. Regular seasonal plant sales and a seed exchange are a feature of our evenings. We have wholesale Seed and Bulb affiliates, with substantial discounts on orders made by the club. There are also social events, visits to gardens, and garden shows. We are affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society.
Discounts of 10% on purchases are also available to paid-up members at three local garden centres in Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn and Llandysul.
Our Aim
The members' aims were to promote an interest in gardening and the growing of flowers, fruit and vegetables, whilst providing a focal point for the exchange of ideas, to the advantage of horticulture in the area.
These aims still guide the club today and meetings are very much social occasions as the membership mainly comes from towns and villages within a 10 mile radius of the village.
Our Vision
Recent worldwide events have given a greater focus to the natural environment and the benefits to mental health of gardening in particular.
The club extends a warm, friendly welcome to new members and visitors who might wish to take up a new hobby or rediscover their passion for gardening.
