About the Society

The Brimpsfield & Mid-Cotswold Garden Society, founded in 1971, serves the villages in the area between Gloucester and Cirencester.  As well as our annual Show, we organise occasional outings for members, a spring plant sale and a summer garden party and hold winter meetings with a horticultural theme and a strong social element.  Members benefit from a discount at Dundry Nurseries, Staverton and can take advantage of significantly reduced prices through our bulk order with Dobies Seeds.
We aim to be a friendly society and we welcome anyone with an interest, however general, in gardens and gardening.


Contact the Secretary, Frances Ellery  for further information - Tel: 01452 862412 or email: brimpsfieldgardensociety@gmail.com

Late Winter gardening Tips

If you haven't already done them, don't forget to do your late winter gardening jobs before it's too  late. It's time to prune many deciduous trees and shrubs, ideally before the end  of February. These include free-standing apple and pear trees (leave cordons,  fans and espaliers, as well as any plums and cherries, until summer), roses and  buddlejas (butterfly bush); cut the latter down as low as you can to keep them  compact. Cut wisterias back to 2-3 buds on each shoot, and make sure they're  staying clear of your guttering. It's also advisable to cut off old hellebore  leaves, which can harbour disease, and put them in your green waste bin, not in  the compost heap. Remember to feed and mulch plants after pruning, for best  results!

Lock Down Gardening

 It was suggested by Jan Evans that we put on the webpage a gallery of photos of what gardening we've been doing in lockdown and are proud of, with some explanatory text.

The first of these is a photo of what Frances has been doing - entitled 'Frances has been sowing seeds'.

VE Day 75th Anniversary

 

An Interesting Piece on the Women's Land Army From Jan Evans:

​​VE Day 75th Anniversary
As a group of passionate gardeners, I wonder how much many of us know about the British Women’s Land Army. With the 75th Anniversary of VE Day, it seems a fitting tribute to acknowledge their efforts to fuel the nation.
