We had a very informative talk on Tuesday 7th July from David Hide on snowdrops – how and where to plant and also how to propagate them. We are all hoping for a bumper crop in January.
Our next event is our Summer Show which will be held in North Heath Hall on 9th August 2026. For full details of categories to enter and times please see Summer Show in the menu.
We have received the below email from a gentleman who is requesting some help. If anyone is interested in helping, can they please contact Nigel directly:
“I’m Nigel, a keen but definitely still-learning gardener from Horsham. I’ve been building a little app called Sward & Trug because I know how easy it is to enjoy having a garden but still feel unsure about what actually needs doing and when. It looks at the local weather and what’s growing in your garden, then gives you a short list of useful jobs for the day in plain English.
I wondered whether a few members of Horsham Horticultural Society might be willing to have a play with it and tell me what they think.
I know many of your members will have far more gardening experience than the people I’m building it for, but that’s exactly why their help would be so useful. I’d really value an experienced eye on whether the advice is sound, well timed and easy enough for someone who is still finding their feet.
There’s nothing formal involved. If anyone fancies helping, I’d be
very happy to arrange free access. They can dip into it whenever they
feel like it, and if they spot anything odd, unhelpful or especially
useful, I’d love to hear about it.
If anyone is interested, you can simply send me the email addresses
they’d like to use and I’ll sort the access for them. My email address is swardandtrug@gmail.com.

Thanks very much,
