Do you enjoy gardening?
Would you like to join a group to share knowledge, skills, plants and much more?
The Patcham Gardening Network is a group of local gardening enthusiasts who meet once a month to share and enhance our gardening knowledge. We invite experts to give talks and workshops, organise trips to gardens, and open up our own gardens for members to visit. We are building a community for local gardeners of all abilities to indulge their passion further.
Membership is open to all at £24 per year. Please Join Us!

June 2025 Patcham Gardening Network Presents.....
Open Garden 22nd June
On Sunday 22nd June, PGN member Fiona will be opening her garden on Stoneleigh Avenue from 11am - 5pm. Fiona has taken her garden from a monoculture of lawns to a wildlife friendly garden in the past four years. Entrance is £4 per person which includes tea and a slice of cake. All money raised will be going to Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis UK and BREMF Community Choir.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 25th June when we will be joined by Nikki Barker, the new RHS Peat-Free Transition
Co-ordinator, to talk about the why and how of peat-free growing. Are you doing it? Are you struggling?
You might remember Nikki from the great talk she gave in 2023 on lawns. She currently works within the science and collections department at the RHS, and has worked across a range of sectors within horticulture, including amenity, landscape and retail.
Join us at 7pm in the Community Centre, members free, visitors £5.
PGN Goes to Wisley
Thanks to everyone who came on our annual visit to RHS Wisley. The sun shone and the peonies and wisteria were in magnificent bloom. This was our second garden visit of the year - have a look at our Garden Visits page to see further pictures, and details of this year's PGN Open Gardens
