Membership

So once again the weather dominated our gardens in July. Almost no rain all month, leading to brown lawns and wilting plants. We really do need think hard about what we plant with a view to drought tolerance.

Please note that as usual there is no talk in August. However we do have an added talk on Monday 7^th September by Mick Poultney aka The Compost King. He will show us how to make compost that will be ready to use within a month!

Good Gardening

Kilmington has fertile soil, soft Devon climate, and a long tradition of good gardening.

Since its foundation more than 60 years ago, the village ‘Produce Association’ has spread its influence far beyond carrots and cabbages, offering talks and demonstrations by experts who understand the needs of the novice with a window box as well as the gardener with an acre or two.

We hold a plant market, open our gardens, arrange visits and host a summer Flower Show. We are ready to share our enthusiasm for plants and gardens with everyone, old or young, resident or visitor.
