Plant sale returns to Whitley

A plant sale is being held in Whitley on 2nd May, with a variety of plants including summer flowers and vegetables.

The Shaw and Whitley Garden Club’s Annual Plant Sale will be held outside the Methodist Chapel on Top Lane. The sale will run from 10am to 12pm.

Organisers say, “It’s an event for everyone interested in gardening and club members will be happy to answer questions about the plants and how they grow them.

“Shaw and Whitley Garden Club is a thriving and welcoming village group which has seen a rise in membership in the last year or two. They have a very full programme every year, including speakers on all aspects of gardening, visits both near and far, and social events. Members have already seen some gardens around England and Wales which are ‘off the beaten track’ and learnt about dealing with pests. They are also looking forward to enjoying a number of visits later in the year, including to RHS Garden Wisley.”

You can find out more about the club and its activities in recent years at an exhibition of photos in the Community Phone Box Gallery opposite the school and church on Corsham Road.
