The Busby and Clarkston Horticultural Society is a gardening club for all who enjoy growing and learning about plants through the activities of its members.
We organise visits to places of horticultural interest, an exciting range of Winter Talks by knowledgeable speakers, pot plant competitions, social events and, of course, the Annual Flower Show, held in Clarkston Halls on the first Saturday of September each year.
All talks are held on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm in Clarkston Halls and are open to non-members. Please bring a friend.

Speaker - M.T. O’Donnell
Editor, Scotland Grows Magazine
In a lighthearted look at the things which plants can do which we as humans cannot, M.T. will highlight some insights into plant behaviour which will make you think, and may alter the way you talk to your plants!
