The Gardeners Club was formed in the Autumn of 1977 by a small band of keen gardeners to promote and encourage gardening knowledge and skills in the village. We currently have twenty five paid up members. We meet every second Monday of the month from September to May. At these meetings we have talks and demonstrations on all gardening related subjects. These meetings are held in Sandon Village Hall at 7.30 pm unless otherwise stated in the programme.
