| | For 2011/12 calendar of events see 'About us' Founded in 1994 for the exchange of ideas and techniques on organic gardening, the Group maintains a membership of around 100 households. We have a very active group of members with widely varying interests and all levels of experience in gardening organically. We welcome new members, so whether you are already an organic gardener or would like to know more about the benefits and practicalities of gardening organically, come and join our group. |

From September to May, the Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Whiteway Colony Hall, Whiteway, between Stroud and Birdlip. The hall is open at 7.30pm for refreshments and an 8pm start. We have a varied social programme ranging from outside speakers, demonstrations, slide shows, a Harvest Supper and Xmas Social. We have an annual seed and plant exchange and we have a group seed order from Chase Organics leading to a substantial cost reduction for members. Fleece, Enviromesh and netting are also available to members at discounted prices. |

We organise 2 or 3 day trips each year, by coach, to places of interest to our members. We also organise annual 4/5 day holidays, visiting gardens and other attractions farther afield. These have included Ireland, Scotland, Wales, had two visits to France and visited Yorkshire, Norfolk/Suffolk, Northumberland, Devon, and Cornwall. Next year we expect to be in the west of Ireland. |
