Welcome to Barony Gardening Club



We are a gardening club that meets at the SRUC Barony Campus at Parkgate, Dumfries in normal times.

Annual membership costs £10 for a whole season of monthly meetings during the winter consisting of talks by eminent speakers and convivial functions and visits in the summer months.

Members can purchase seeds at a special club rate from Dobies, Dalefoot peat free composts at discounted prices and are eligible for 10% discount at Moffat and Heathhall Garden Centres.

Meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of the month.

Non-members are very welcome for the small donation of £3 per meeting.
