Your Local Friendly Gardening Club – Growing Gardens and Friendships

Our story

A Century of Gardening in Biggin Hill

The Biggin Hill and District Horticultural Society has been part of local life for over a hundred years. Through changing seasons and changing times, we've brought together people who share a passion for plants, growing, and the great outdoors — and we're still going strong.

What started as a small gathering of enthusiastic local gardeners has grown into a vibrant, welcoming community. We hold regular evening meetings, annual shows, a popular seed swap, and much more — all rooted in the simple belief that gardening is better when it's shared.

Whether you're a seasoned grower with a prize-winning vegetable patch, a beginner who's just discovered the joy of a windowsill herb garden, or simply someone who loves being outdoors — there's a place for you here.

What we do

Something for Every Gardener

We get together throughout the year for events that are as sociable as they are green-fingered. Here's a flavour of what we get up to:
