Enter our Centenary Summer Show - Saturday 3rd September 2022
Once again we apologise sincerely to all our members, supporters, exhibitors and visitors.
The Society was looking forward to holding the show in as safe a manner as possible. But unfortunately, our usual venue at the United Reformed Church is not available. Due to access issues it is very
difficult to safely ensure sufficient social distancing. So unfortunately the Church Elders feel unable to open the Hall for public hire at the present time.
We have considered other possible venues, but every piece of equipment needed to stage the show - over 40 trestle tables, various display stands, plus dozens of vases, banners and a host of other
materials - is stored on site at the URC Hall. The logistics have defeated even our willing band of volunteers.
We expect to be back for Spring 2022 with a couple of surprises in store. Please make sure you have joined our email list at this
link www.pacga.org.uk, so we can keep everyone informed with further news and updates on these plans.
Thank you for your patience and once again our apologies. Please stay safe, everyone - and keep gardening!

Our events in 2021
Plant Sale Weekend - 15/16 May 2021 We have already started growing our plants and we can promise you that there will be superb bargains on a wide range of bedding, perennials, veg, fruit, cactus, succulents, shrubs, roses etc.
Pudsey Summer Show – Saturday 4 September – Pudsey United Reformed Church – 2.30pm to 5.00pm
The Summer Show is the highlight of our year, make sure it is in your diary. And keep your fingers crossed that this wonderful day will be able to go ahead.
We hope to welcome you back in Spring
As you know, we did all we could to provide a service to members during the last few difficult months and we are delighted that our ‘phone and collect’ service was very well used and appreciated.
However, after careful consideration and a change in the rules, we are delighted to tell you that the Pudsey Gardeners Shop (aka The Hut) is now open on Saturday mornings from 10.00am to 12 noon.
As usual, you will be able to get all the products, help and advice you need to keep your fruit and veg bountiful, your flowers blooming and your lawns lush and lovely!
There will be strict health and safety protocols in place, with only 1 customer being served from the Hut entrance at any one time. You may be asked to wait in your car and, of course, follow social distancing regulations. Everything will be managed with safety in mind and there will be someone on hand to advise you.
We are stocked up (as much as we can be in current circumstances) but this, inevitably, has had an effect on some of the prices. A new price list will be available soon but we are keeping all prices as competitive as we can. We can also offer free delivery if you really need it.
Looking forward to seeing all our members and meeting new ones!
If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, or you want to join us, you will be able to do so at the Hut, or you can do it online at www.pacga.org.uk.

We are a friendly team of willing volunteers and we are proud of what we do. However, we are always looking for more helpers. No experience necessary, just a good sense of humour and willing hands! Come along to the AGM and speak to us; or if you're interested just email info@pacga.org.uk and we'll get back to you.
The AGM is open to members, past members and non-members - anyone who is interested in what we do. Please come along and support us. Thank you.
