Basildon Horticultural Society is affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society and we run a number of social events throughout the year with something for everyone from beginners to seasoned gardeners.
We have our Spring and Summer shows where local flowers, fruit, vegetables and crafts are judged - 1st 2nd and 3rd place cards awarded to the best entries - and a selection of cups to be won too.
There's also free entry to talks in Spring & Autumn along with Garden visits too.
Being part of the HortSoc committee is a fun way to contribute to village life. We aim to have between 4 and 6 short meetings a year. Below is a list of positions currently on offer:

Please contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in getting involved at any level or if you have any suggestions for future events. Membershipcosts £6 per family and entitles you to discounts at local businesses & free entry to classes in the show and our talks.
