Welcome
Welcome to the Esher Molesey Garden Society Website. Our Society was founded in 1917 and brings together gardeners and allotment holders, young and old, who just love gardening.
We are a friendly sociable Society who are there to share advice and support. During the year we hold horticulture talks, garden visits, and our annual flower show (vegetables, flowers, cakes and preserves).
One of our main fundraising events is our stall at the Molesey Carnival selling plants grown by members. During our centenary year of 2017, the society won a gold medal and best in category at the Hampton Court Flower Show for a small garden design.
As a member, you would be entitled to use our trading hut at Beauchamp Road Allotments, Beauchamp Road, West Molesey, which provides all you need for the garden at very competitive prices. All this for £5 per year membership, so if you would like to meet us please come along to one of our events, or download a membership form on our Membership Page.
Chenies Plant Fair
CHENIES MANOR ANNUAL PLANT FAIR, SUNDAY JULY 16,2023
This visit has been strongly recommended by several members, and in particular by our member Gerald, so I am sure this will be a day out that will be well worth joining!
Because our aim is to attend the plant fair, we are booked to arrive as the event opens at 09:30 to get the best opportunity to choose and buy from the wide range of stalls and plants that will be there.
“Chenies Manor House annual plant fair hosts over 80 specialist growers and nurseries and local artisan stalls.
A wonderful day to browse amongst expert horticulturalists, garden items and so much more.
Lunch is available and Tea is served in the Manor gardens or our Garden Room.”
