Southwater Horticultural Society

Southwater Horticultural Society first came into being in the early years of the last century. Originally an off-shoot of the Women’s Institute, it soon became independent, holding annual shows - a village fete day, in fact! The Society disbanded with the onset of WWII, to rise again as part of the Dig for Victory campaign in 1945. Local groups were encouraged to join Village Produce Associations, a movement which rapidly spread throughout the country. 

What we do: In our present day form, we put on three shows a year, Spring at Easter, Rose & Sweet Pea in June and Late Summer at the beginning of September. We have a Plant Sale in May and an AGM with wine and cheese in November. In between we try and fit in a visit to Wisley and membership brings a few other perks which include discounts from our friends at Tanbury Motors and Tates Garden Centres. We are affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society.
