Picture of the month
This time last year
 Most of the pictures on this website have been taken by the members. They have usually been reduced in size (definition) to work easily on the site. If you would like any of the pictures we will try to supply them in their original size. Just contact a member of the committee.
About Us
Great Hockham Gardening Club serves not only Great Hockham but the villages and towns that surround it as well. We hold our indoor meetings at the Edinburgh Hall, Great Hockham, so as long as you can get there with relative ease, you’re more than welcome to come and join us.

And now for the Small Print
We are actively seeking new members. The annual membership fee of £10.00 per person is payable on joining and renewable in September. If you are reading this as a non-member and are interested in joining this very friendly club then please contact any of the Committee Members or use the Feedback form or just come along to a meeting. If you come along to a meeting on 'spec' as a visitor you'll see we have a reception table by the door - you will not only be made to feel very welcome but we will be delighted to see you. We charge visitors £2.50 so you can 'try before you buy'.
Why join? What do you get for your money? Well, you get free entry to all indoor meetings where we have some very interesting topics as shown in our latest programme. Your refreshments at all meetings are free. You get to visit all outdoor venues (for which the club nearly always has to pay a much higher entrance fee) for just £1.00 (with some exceptions depending on the nature of the visit), and perhaps the most important part of all is that you become part of a growing social organisation where you will get to make friends who all have a similar interest to yours. Oh, and almost forgot, we have arranged discounts up to 15% on purchases at certain garden centres and an amazing 50% from a national seed merchant and we're currently working on more - see the Discount Offers page for details. Take advantage of the discount offers and your membership fee will be repaid many times over! Indoor Meetings These are held in Edinburgh Hall, Harling Road, Gt Hockham at 7:45pm on the second Wednesday of the month (see the Programme  Page for full details of each meeting).At each indoor meeting, we will now include a table show called “Flower from your Garden”. Any member can show any flower grown in their garden. All items will be judged on the evening, perhaps by a visiting speaker, perhaps by a nominated member. Points will be awarded and a record kept of the winning entries. One entry per member per month and most points at end of year will collect a mystery prize. At each indoor meeting there are free refreshments for members and a raffle. Each member is asked to contribute one raffle prize per year, in September. As a result, we have some really great raffle prizes. Outdoor Visits Costs for outside visits are now free to members (usually) and as applicable to visitors. Refreshments are again provided. Where we go varies from interesting nursery centres to members gardens to picnics - we constantly try to come up with something different and new - see the Programme page for details. Village Flower Show Each year we have a village flower show. This usually takes place in August/September but full details of the show including dates, times, rules and categories are distributed well in advance - again see the Programme page for full details.
