Garden Festival 2026!
Bridge of Weir Gardening Club presents its Coffee Morning & Garden Festival on Saturday 22nd August in BoW Parish Church Hall from 11am to 2pm.

This display of garden produce allows the club to showcase its members’ triumphs – and sometimes not-so-good results - of this season’s garden growth. Cut flowers, pot plants vegetables and fruit will all make an appearance, either “in person” or by photograph.
Although the members provide the backbone of the display, non-members are invited to bring in their own examples of what can be grown in this area. The hall will be open from 9.30 for receipt of produce.
Angela Smith, who gave us a marvellous talk in June, also brought along seedlings of Amaranthus, challenging the members to see who could grow the biggest – we hope to have a mini-competition with these!
So, join us for a cuppa and some home-baking, have a look at the variety of produce which can be grown and possibly take home a little something from the Plant Stall.

Tomato growing among club members is hotting up with various levels of success. Let’s hope the sun comes out again so we can get all the tomatoes to ripen up! Many thanks to Mary, Fiona & Chris for sharing their photos.

Having had such a long spell of hot dry weather it’s so frustrating that the slugs & snails are still managing to do their worst. Club member & our Chair Donald has shared his dahlia photos showing that despite having been nibbled by slugs/snails or whatever they’re still managing to flower.

We have our Garden Festival on Saturday 22nd August and amongst other things we’ll have our in house competition to see who has grown the best amaranthus plants. Back in May we had a wonderful talk from our local horticulturalist Angela Smith who very kindly gave us some amaranthus seedlings. Since then club members have been nurturing their seedlings with mixed success causing plenty of banter on our WhatsApp group.
More information will follow about the festival but in the meantime here are some photos of said seedlings.

A few close ups of the beautiful orchids and wild flowers seen at the meadows recently visited by the Gardening Club. Orchids seen were the Greater & Lesser butterfly Orchid (white) and Greater & Lesser Spotted Orchids (purple). The fields are monitored as they are a designated site of scientific interest. The club provided hawthorn, hazel, elder and ash saplings for the boundary of one of the fields. Many thanks to Donald for sharing these photos.

BRIDGE OF WEIR GARDENING CLUB

Members will be looking forward to the Gardening Club’s own special edition of GARDENERS’ QUESTION TIME. This is always an entertaining and informative evening for members and visitors. A team of experienced members will attempt to answer queries on our garden pests and problems because, despite the challenge of local soil types and gardens with plants which are settled and happy, every gardener knows to remain vigilant! Changing weather patterns and warmer temperatures influence our plants, not only affecting growth and flowering times but by bringing in unwelcome pests venturing north.

We will meet on Thursday 9th July at 8p.m. in Bridge of Weir Parish Church, so come along to meet the team and ask them for advice on gardening or, as often happens, hear from the audience - proving that we do perhaps know more than we realise! So this is always a great evening to share our collective knowledge and experience.

Visitors will be made most welcome. Often this is when visitors come along with a troublesome gardening problem, so if you identify as one of these and want an answer, do join us!
