Finding a local gardening club

Hi all!
I'd love to join a local club to swap seeds, cuttings, info and ideas and even go on trips to gardens.
I can't seem to be able to access a web site that will give me a list of local clubs in Southampton. Any advice please?
I suppose I could even start one up myself. Anyone know how to go about it?
Thanks for reading

I've found that there is a whole different world of people other than those of us that of grown dependent on t'internet. If you go to as many garden open days, shows and the likes, and start talking to random people, you'll find out all sorts of stuff that is right under your nose that you never knew about I don't know how word gets round in such circles, but it does.

 

Hi vietta. Take a look here http://www.e.volve.org.uk/listings.aspx?index=611&item=3030 Not sure if that's what you mean, but it's a start :thumb:

 

Freddie!!!! You are wonderful!!!! I went on that site and found a club literally round the corner and the secretary lives 2 doors up the road!!!!!
Amazing!! Unfortunately it's a cacti and succulent society but I'm going to drop a note in tomorrow and you never know.....she may have contacts.
Thank-you SO MUCH.

If your try a local Women's Institute - I'll bet that they have members who belong to one if they don't know of one themselves.

 

I have started a childrens garden club at our local craft shop ,I sure it would be easy for you to.

I also am a member of a fuchsia society which meets in the alotment hut.
