Talk, Swan Support, with Wendy Hermon, Thursday 16th October 2025, 7:45pm, Church Centre, Featherbed Lane

Wendy Hermon is the Operations Director at Swan Support, a swan rehabilitation centre rescuing, treating and caring for sick and injured swans within the Thames Valley and surrounding area. They are also passionate about educating the public about the detrimental effect human behaviour and carelessness can have on swans and other water birds.

Wendy will tell us about the work of the charity which relies entirely on public donations to enable them to continue their work.

Talks at The Prestwood Gardening Society

Don't forget that we have a reciprocal arrangement with our friends in the Prestwood Gardening Society whereby our members can attend each other's talks at no cost. You can view Prestwood's programme here: Events Calendar - Prestwood Gardening Society (e-voice.org.uk)

Trading Store closed for winter break

Our Trading Store is now closed for its winter break. It will re-open on Sunday 4th January 2026, when members can renew their subscriptions.

No more discounts at Hildreth's Garden Centre or Peterley Manor Farm

We have learned that, from 1st September 2025, Hildreth's no longer offer our members the 10% discount on horticultural purchases. Apparently, this is because they have launched their own loyalty card costing, we believe, £5 per annum. We also understand that discounts are no longer offered by Peterley Manor Farm.
