'In some melodious plot / Of beechen green, and shadows numberless'---John Keats, Hampstead poet, Ode to a Nightingale
WELCOME to the official website for Hampstead Horticultural Society. We hold flower shows, arrange horticultural lectures and organise coach outings to interesting gardens. See upcoming programme of events.
Membership of the society is open to anyone with or wanting to acquire 'green fingers' who lives in Hampstead (as did John Keats, see above) and its environs in north-west London, UK. We encourage both experienced and novice amateur gardeners to cultivate vegetables, fruit and flowers, and to exchange ideas.
Our yearly activites include:
2 horticultural shows with competition classes for flowers, shrubs, plants, vegetables, fruit, flower arrangements and cookery
2 illustrated talks at Burgh House in Hampstead
Social events and plant sales
