Ingatestone & Fryerning Horticulture Society
Welcome to the Ingatestone & Fryerning Horticulture Society, established in 1890
Cultivate Your Passion
Hello, fellow plant lovers! The Society is buzzing with excitement as we warmly welcome all new members—yes, even those who think watering is a workout!
“Our mission is to inspire a lifelong passion for horticulture, encourage people of all ages to get involved, and help the next generation discover the enjoyment of gardening.”
This year, as usual, we will have the grand marquee full of flowers and vegetables at the Summer Show going back to 1890! Plus, don't miss our annual plant sale, competition, and engaging talks and outings to the gardens in Southern England! Join the fun and let’s grow together!
