Meetings: Church House at 7.30pm on the first Tuesday of the month September to December and then February to April.  
In addition to the programme, during the summer months, the Club organises at least one day trip to a place of horticultural interest and a few evening visits to local gardens. The Club holds its own Plant and Cake Sale each Spring and also provides plants for stalls at numerous village fetes. The Club has an Annual Show on the last Saturday in August each year.  The Show is open to Gardening Club Members and the villagers of Adderbury, Twyford and Milton.  There are a few trophies to be won, but the aim of the show is to encourage villagers of all ages to “have a go”.  Schedules for adults and juniors are obtainable several weeks before the show from The Library, Taste Buds and the Club Secretary.
