Who we are.
Founded in 1896 and based in Mayfield, a village tucked away in the beautiful countryside of the High Weald, Mayfield Horticultural Society is a friendly group of gardening enthusiasts who love to come together to share tips, swap ideas, and celebrate all things green and growing.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, you’ll find a warm welcome at here. We love to share knowledge, encourage curiosity, and most importantly, enjoy gardening in good company.

What we do.
We host a variety of events throughout the year, from talks by expert speakers to hands-on demonstrations and plant swaps. Our meetings are a mix of learning and fun, with plenty of opportunities to share advice, get inspiration, or simply enjoy the company of fellow gardeners.
Membership also comes with perks, including a 10% discount at two local gardening outlets when you present your membership card. Best of all, you absolutely don’t need to be a gardening expert to join—just bring your enthusiasm for all things green!
