Halstead & District Horticultural Society

Established in 1976, the Halstead & District Horticultural Society is an active village club with over 140 members. It is organised and run by a committee of twelve.

• Three shows – Spring, Summer and Autumn
• A full day coach outing plus other outings using members’ transport
• Regular talks on a wide range of gardening and related topics
• Plant Sale in May

We are delighted to be linked to the Badgers Mount website and hope this will encourage new enquiries for membership, especially from the Badgers Mount area.
