Brockham Green Horticultural Society

With origins before 1900, the Brockham Green Horticultural Society (BGHS) has a proud history of encouraging horticulture within our three villages, originally with annual Flower Shows and more recently with events across the year:

• Talks, delivered by outside speakers are held in the darker months at the beginning of each year and recent subjects have included birds of prey, keeping chickens, the secret life of the mole, plus regular gardening tips and advice;  

• A plant sale is held in May;

• Members only open garden events;

• The Autumn Show in September is the highlight of the gardening calendar – an opportunity for members to exhibit the beautiful plants and vegetables they have nurtured over the year. There are also classes for crafts, cookery, photography and children; and  

• The November AGM provides an opportunity for members to hear an official report from the Committee and a chance to air their views.

Event posters are published on this website’s events calendar and topical /seasonal updates are published on this page – please scroll down!

BGHS is affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society and the Surrey Horticultural Federation. The Society is keen to promote the many advantages of gardening as widely as possible and is for everyone, regardless of age, experience or the size of garden.

If you would like to join BGHS please send us an email  to ask for more details. Membership is £5 per person and members receive 10% discount on plants at Buckland Nurseries.

May Update

Annual Plant Sale – Saturday 3rd May 2025 10.00 am – 12.00 noon on Brockham Green

In addition to plants and vegetables, we will also have on sale some second-hand gardening tools, pots, ornaments and gardening related books. Maybe you can sow a few extra seedlings, take cuttings, or divide some plants to contribute to our sale. This is our biggest fundraising event and we do appreciate all the donations that we receive.
