Clwb Garddio Ponterwyd Garden Club
Clwb Garddio Ponterwyd Garden Club
Ponterwyd Garden Club is now in its 12th year and is affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society. Our monthly meetings include a speaker, refreshment break, raffle and a short business meeting. We also have a crafts and produce table where members can sell their items (with a proportion of the sales being contributed to Club funds). We produce a calendar every year made up of photographs taken and selected by Club members.
In addition we arrange coach trips to gardens of interest within and beyond Wales as well as other informal gatherings and visits during the Spring and Summer months. An annual Plant Sale is organised during the Spring and we also have a stall at the Ponterwyd Country Fete later in the year.

Garden Club members working at Bwlch yr Arian.
Everyone is welcome at our meetings and events, so please come along. Subscriptions are due in February, following the AGM in January, but why not come along? We have a Christmas lunch during December and the social side of our activities is just as important as the monthly meetings. It is a good way to make new friends from the village and surrounding area.
