Hadlow Down Gardening Club Facebook Group

A village Gardening Club was first suggested in our Parish Magazine some time ago but the poor response did not merit any work in taking the idea further. There would seem to have been an increase in interest in village gardens and gardening recently perhaps partially due to people spending more time at home due to Covid.
A Hadlow Down Gardening Club has now been created as a Facebook Group just for villagers and village friends who love gardening.
The Group is not officially associated with our excellent Hadlow Down Horticultural Society but can perhaps be used as a supplementary platform where anyone interested in gardening can join and exchange ideas, news, photographs, points of view, information or even plants, seeds or garden accessories at any time of the year without waiting for meetings or events to occur.
It is also hoped that enough people are interested we may be able to negotiate exclusive discounts and benefits from plant, seed & accessory providers for group members
There are of course no fees or paid membership involved just an interest in gardening!

Annual Poppy Appeal

After a year where door to door collections were impossible, the annual poppy appeal will kick off on Friday 29th October in Hadlow Down.

Door to door collections in support of Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal will recommence this year on 29th October and we very much hope the village will continue to give generously as has been the case in the past.  Covid has taught us all that we can, by and large, live without cash, however we are not yet geared up to accept donations through card readers.  We would be hugely grateful if you could remember to put aside a little cash when our collectors come visiting to support this worthy appeal.

Thank you!

No Trick or Treat

Trick or Treating may be fun for some, but it’s not for everyone.
Older people can find it quite scary enough just having to answer a door knock or bell ring on a dark evening others can find it quite embarrassing when nothing is at hand to give to give to disappointed children and have to say no.
If you would prefer not have anyone call on you instead of sitting with the lights out on Halloween night, hoping no one will knock, why not put a sign out on your door.
