2 PONTESBURY AND DISTRICT GARDENERS ASSOCIATION
PDGA was formed in 1942 with the aim of promoting gardening in the local area as part of the Dig for Victory campaign.
Now its main function is as a co-operative buying garden consumables in bulk and reselling to members at rates lower than are normally found in garden centres and other retail outlets. For example, each February we take delivery of an articulated lorry load of multi-purpose compost, we buy large bags of fertiliser and other garden consumables and bag it up in smaller quantities which are sold to members at a competitive prices.
We sell a soil improver, Pongarmulch, which is bought in bulk from the local council’s composting service and bagged up for ease of transport to members’ gardens.
We are able to do this because we are staffed by volunteers and don’t have the cash flow concerns that a normal retail business has. All this is located in an old railway shed by the old line in Pontesbury, and a view of the building itself is worth a visit. There is always someone available to carry heavy or awkward items out to your car.
The Trading Post is open every Saturday from 9.30-12 from the first Saturday in February to the last Saturday in October, except for the last Saturday in August when it is closed for our Show. It is situated in the Old Railway Buildings on Station Road in Pontesbury.

13 SHROPSHIRE ORGANIC GARDENERS
A bit of history
Shropshire Organic Gardeners, SOGs, held its first meeting on 20th February 1990, attracting 35 people, including some members who are still with us.
The second meeting on 7th March was a Seed and Seedling Exchange – something we continue to this day, both informally when we meet at a member garden in the summer, and now as a regular part of our pre-Christmas meeting. A good chance to swap all sorts of garden paraphernalia too!
We even had a Radbrook Horticultural College in the county and there is much talk about horticultural apprenticeships and market gardening again.
Recipes and ideas for talks abound, and the piece de resistance, a Christmas Quiz. The only problem is that there are no questions, only the answers!
It is so nice to see a good number of members who are still a part of SOGs and still believe so strongly in the benefits of organic gardening.
The Present Day
We are still a group of gardeners and smallholders, and still affiliated to Garden Organic which is based at Ryton Gardens near Coventry. Many of us are individual members of Garden Organic and receive the excellent quarterly magazine, free advice and free entry to Ryton Gardens and RHS gardens. As a group member we benefit from a larger discount on our seed order than for individual members.
A twice yearly newsletter provides feedback on meetings, visits, seasonal recipes and tips.
Our winter meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm and are held at the Bradbury Room, Drapers Place, Shrewsbury (more detail on the Home page).
