Barwick Horticultural Society
The Horticultural society in Barwick is thriving with 50 to 80 people attending our regular monthly meetings in the Village Hall. Apart from meeting to hear speakers and discussion on all aspects of growing and gardening the society also organises several trips each year to places of Horticultural interest. We organise a Plant Sale in May of each year and the Annual Show of produce and crafts which is held on the first Saturday in September always brings in the crowds.
On production of their membership cards members are able to obtain discounts at a number of Garden Centres in the area.
