Killearn Cottagers' Horticultural Society

Welcome to the Killearn Cottagers' Horticultural Society web pages in conjunction with Killearn.org.uk.

History

The Society was established in 1850 for "The encouragement of the art and practice of Gardening and Horticulture". Its affairs are managed by a President, a Chairman, a Secretary, a Treasurer and a committee, all of whom are elected annually at the general Meeting

Nowadays we have the same aim but achieve it in different ways. The Society holds a number of meetings throughout the year with invited speakers on horticultural subjects. A fund raising Whist Drive and a Gardeners' Market combined with a Coffee Morning are arranged annually. Our main event is still the Annual Flower Show held on the last Saturday in August. This now has an even wider spread in terms of exhibits and exhibitors - the former ranging from traditional flowers, fruit & vegetables, preserves and baking to art, photographic, various craftwork and floral displays. The 2010 Show, to be held on Saturday 28th August 2010, will be the 144th.

Membership of the Society is open to all and is gained by purchase of the Show Schedule.

Future

We will add show results and pictures in our 1st update after the show each year.
