A vibrant garden society active in Fleet and Church Crookham, Hampshire. We hold several annual events and shows and run a comprehensively stocked stores hut with discounts for members.
HISTORY
Church Crookham Garden Society was formed in 1954 as the Ryelaw Garden Society. It was founded by residents of Ryelaw Road as an outlet for their interest in gardening. A potted history about the success story by founding members to cultivate the local sand can be found here…
At some time in its early stages, the Society began marketing garden supplies and until 1997 traded from sheds located in Moore Close.
The name of the Society was changed to Church Crookham Garden Society to reflect the wider residential location of its members and, since 2022, Church Crookham and Fleet Garden Society.
Shows were organised and now two shows per year are held, one in the spring and one in late summer.
