Autumn Show

Come and see our displays of flowers, fruit, veg and handicrafts– better still why not put in an exhibit or two yourselves; you don’t have to be an expert to join in. Both members and non-members are welcome to enter and there is a trophy for best newcomer.

There will again be a produce sale including cakes, jams & chutneys as well as home-grown produce and a floristry demonstration at 3:30. All this plus refreshments with home-made cakes and free entry makes it a great afternoon out for everyone.

Our Second Children's Gardening Workshop

Sunday 16th September 10:30am to 12noon

We are very excited to announce our second 'Seedlings' workshop for young gardeners aged 4 to 10 years old. During the workshop, which will be held under parental supervision on our own allotment in Letchworth, each child will make a mini beast hotel, plant some bulbs ready for spring and help with the pumpkin harvest. Each child will receive a certificate and will get to take home the insect hotel and the potted bulbs. The cost is £3/child.

Email Kay Walker on workshops@ldga.org.uk to book a place, first come first served.

Children love getting their hands mucky, so gardening can be the perfect activity to do together that will help them learn more about nature whilst having fun.
