The Guild was formed in 1937 and now has over 1000 members, which makes it one of the largest such organisations in the UK. However, we like to think we are more than just a horticultural guild as we have been an integral part of the local community for over 85 years.

Our trading huts (next to Elm Park Library) are open on Sunday mornings between 09:00-12:00, where we stock a variety of composts, fertilisers, plants and hardware at competitive prices.

We organise four shows a year at St. Albans Church, where members can exhibit and compete in various flower, vegetable, photo and homecraft categories. The shows are free to visit by the general public and teas, coffees and cakes are available.

We organise coach outings to various famous gardens and places of interest, as well as trips to theatres and other places.

New members are always welcomed and if you would like to join the E.P.H.G., visit us at the Trading Huts any Sunday morning, or contact our Membership Secretary . The yearly subscription is just £ 3.00 per household, postage of £7.50 is payable if you live outside of our area to cover postage..
