(aka Mersea Island Horticultural Society)
Monthly Meetings
We hold monthly meetings throughout the year (except for the summer season – May to September – when we are all too busy in our gardens!).
Lots of interesting and entertaining subjects are covered. Our meetings give you a chance to get to know friendly, like-minded people, and maybe learn something new. At the end of the meeting the speakers normally answer any questions you may have on the topic they have covered.
The meetings are normally held in the Mersea Island Museum (see schedule below) except for April and start at 7.30pm. Car parking is limited at the museum but there is a car park nearby.
