If you are interested in growing organic fruit and vegetables and encouraging wildlife, why not come along to EcoLocal’s Surrey Organic Gardening Group talks and meet ups?
SOGG Autumn 2025 programme:
September 26th: No-dig: better for us and the environment.
Learn why we should put away the spade and embrace gardening the ‘lazy way’ instead! Sarah Foss will take us through the history of digging, we’ll learn why no-dig is so good for our garden soil and the environment and how to make your garden successful the no-dig way.
October 31st: Gardening Quiz
Join in for our annual harvest time quiz (see also article below). If you’d like to bring some food to share that would be wonderful – it doesn’t have to be something you’ve cooked!
November 28th: Gardens in Winter
Join us for a talk by Anna Ribo on how make your garden appealing in the darker time of the year. What plants put on a good show in winter, how to use bulbs to most effect, winter flowering shrubs colourful stems, seedheads, bark and climbers. Anna was previously head gardener at Long Barn, now works on garden restoration projects and frequently teaches workshops on planting for members of the Society of Garden Designers.
All meetings are 7.30pm (arrive from 7.15pm) at the Garden Hall, The Lodge, Honeywood Walk, Carshalton SM5 3NX.
Entrance fees
All the remaining meetings in 2025 are free for members of SOGG who paid membership fees earlier this year. Non-members are very welcome – only £5 on the door including tea, coffee and biscuits (cash or card). Please do invite your friends.
From 2026 talks will be just £5 (including tea, coffee and biscuits) on the night for everybody. We hope you will think this is good value for money and continue to support SOGG.
