Welcome to our Home Page

Donegal Garden Society meets monthly from September to June each year with a varied programme of speakers, social events, plant sales and garden visits. A number of members participate in the Donegal Garden Trail. The purpose of the Society is to enable anyone interested in gardening to meet with others with a similar interest, and to share ideas, plants, experience and knowledge.

News

safaribusMembers are just back from another successful weekend trip, this time visiting gardens in County Wexford and County Carlow. 28 members stayed at the Carlton Millrace Hotel in Bunclody and were bussed from one excellent garden to the next. A full report - and photos - should be up on the website soon. Needless to say lots of shopping for plants was done, we almost had to abandon passengers at one point to get them all on the bus.

It's that time of year again - membership subs are overdue. Membership is €25 for an individual and €45 for a couple and members are asked to pay the Treasurer as soon as possible if they haven't already done so.

A DGS member has offered a range of sculptures for sale to other DGS members. See details here.

Upcoming events

The 2010 programme of meetings is now  upon us and a great series of speakers has been arranged. See what's coming up on our Programme page.

We're also surveying members about their ideas for the 2010/2011 programme of events. Please help by logging in to the Members' Area and completing the survey. If you're a DGS member and can't remember the password email contact us, including your full name, and we'll send it to you.

Donegal Garden Trail has been underway for a couple of months but there are still plenty of gardens to see - lots of fabulous gardens once again for every type of garden enthusiast, all amongst the great scenery of County Donegal. The full programme is available on the Donegal Garden Trail website.
