ESTABLISHED 1892
Our Society was formed in the 1890's, with annual spring plant sales, and summer “Garden Produce and Craft Shows".
The Society meets monthly, mainly on the second Thursday evening of each month at at 7.30.pm. at Stalbridge Hall, DT10 2NF, mainly with visiting speakers. (See 2022 schedule below). In July, the meeting is replaced with an evening outing for a garden visit. December's meeting is often a social evening with a sometimes garden related quiz!

​You may be surprised to see Stalbridge residents' gardens and individual features on the Facebook page "Stalbridge Gardens Photos". Stalbridge residents are very welcome to post photos on the Facebook Page.
