Over 100 years old and still serving Rayleigh and the surrounding community, we are one of the biggest horticultural societies with a very active committee working to provide activities of interest to all types of gardeners, the showman, the allotment holder, the plant enthusiast, or those who just like to potter round the garden.

3 shows with magnificent displays of flowers, vegetables, domestic and handicraft sections are held at the Mill Arts & Event Centre, Rayleigh, and every show gets bigger as more people realise they have something to show. Specialist children's classes cover all ages up to 13 years, so the whole family can get involved. (click on EVENTS-shows)

Club Nights are held once a month, with a wide range of topics to interest everyone.

The society has its own Trading Store for members to purchase all their garden requirements at competitive prices, so come to the store and chat to one of our volunteers, and become a member.
