A lively club for all those interested in gardening; for experts, amateurs and "armchair" gardeners alike. We have speakers covering a wide range of topics, from bee keeping and roses, to organic gardening and wildlife. There is also the lively social life of the Club, which includes Christmas and Summer Socials and outings to gardens.
Meetings are currently held on the third Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Upstairs Room of the Botley Market Hall, with a stair lift available. From the March 2023 meeting onwards, we are transferring downstairs to the Main Hall and changing to the third Thursday of the month starting at 8pm; giving us more room and easier access for all.
The showpiece of the Club is the annual Autumn Show, held each September in the Market Hall. A truly traditional village event where fruit, vegetables, plants, flowers and home produce are all on display. The Show next year will be held on Saturday 9th September 2023 in the Market Hall. Anyone can enter as well as visit the show - schedules listing categories will be available from tel 786166.

We now have our new Botley Mini Bus, funded by the Department for Transport for use within our Community.
Available for hire to non-profit-making groups or organisations.
Hirers must provide their own driver aged between 25 – 69 (70 – 74 if they have a D1 licence) in good health and with no more than 3 points on their licence.
We provide a short induction and driving session for first time users. This ensures that we, and they, are happy about their competence to handle the bus safely.
Botley Twinning Association is twinned with St Jean Brévelay in Brittany, inland from Nantes. The Botley Twinning Association now has over 60 members and has been in existence since 1997.
It was in June 1995 that a meeting was held in the Market Hall Committee Room to decide whether to accept the invitation from La Claie Sans Frontières in St Jean Brévelay, Brittany to become their ‘twin’. Happily, the vote was positive and many good times have been enjoyed on both sides of the Channel since then - Footballers, FireFighters, Flower Arrangers and Families have made new Friends and tasted French food and hospitality.
