The Tender Shoots network is an online gardening club which offers talks and events during the autumn winter months via Zoom. Individuals and clubs are very welcome to join, it’s open to anyone, there’s no charge to attend most of the talks.

Tender Shoots is national collective of UK garden clubs set up during covid so that clubs could work together, have joint online events, share tips and advice, share discounts, plus much more. Complete novices are especially welcome.

Click here to go to the Tender Shoots website. The website is very easy to navigate, and has lists of all the up coming talks. It also allows you to sign up to the email event reminder service.

Clubs who join the network agree to provide one zoom talk per year. This means that our members benefit from a new source of zoom meetings from the comfort of their own home.

There is also a monthly networking meeting for club committee members to share ideas and receive support.
