  The Barham and District Horticultural Society, centered around the village of Barham in Kent is a friendly, active, local society which promotes and stimulates interest in all aspects of gardening - from growing vegetables, flowers, shrubs and trees to the quiet enjoyment of gardens and their wildlife. The Society was founded in 1895 and has over 200 members drawn from a wide area including surrounding villages - from enthusiastic active gardeners to those with a less active interest in gardens who often just wish to enjoy participating in the society's events and activities.

  Activities take place throughout the year including group outings to well known gardens, talks in Kingston or Barham Village Halls, plant sales and swaps and three annual shows. The Spring show combined with the Plant Sale plus a Summer and Autumn show, are the highlights of the Society's year giving members and non-members a chance to display their own grown fruit, vegetables and flowers together with classes for floral art, cookery, photography and additional classes for young people. Outings are another key feature of the Society's year – previous years have included coach trips to the Royal Horticultural Society's Wisley garden and to Le Bois de Moutiers in France.
