Bridget Morley and John Simmons - Burnage Garden Society

John and Bridget discuss the Garden Society's annual shows held at Burnage Community Centre, including the preparations for the day, types of entries, catering arrangements, the keen competition and adjudication.    

We learn here about the society's move from the old building behind Burnage Lane, to a new, purpose built home next to the Burnage Commmunity Centre.

Bridget and John talk about the society's shop, open on every Sunday morning.

Describe here are the society's earlier days, with John and Bridget's memories of the society when they joined in the early 1970s.

The talks, excursions and the sharing of knowledge which underpinned the society are discussed here, with memories of AGMs in the Clubroom at the Vic!
