The Association - referred to locally as 'The VPA' - is Holmer Green's gardening club and it celebrates its 80th Anniversary in 2024. Aside from gardening, it has always provided a social focus for the village of Holmer Green and the surrounding area.

The VPA was formed in 1944 to help 'dig for victory' in the Second World War. Its objectives were to 'encourage and improve the standard of horticulture, small live-stock keeping, and the best use of produce in the home. Hence the original name, the Holmer Green Village Produce Association.

Since then, the VPA has become a general gardening club, organising shows, talks and outings on behalf of its members, as well as operating a busy Trading Store.
