2025 update:
New Year greetings from the Garden Hut team. The Hut will open for the 2025 season on 16th February and will be open on all Sunday mornings between 10 and 12 offering the usual array of useful products for members until November.
The ability to operate the Hut depends on the services of Garden Club members who are willing to offer some of their time to be on Hut duty when the hut is open and also to be available to unload deliveries from the wholesale suppliers as and when those deliveries take place. Hut duty just takes place when the Hut is open to sell on Sundays and comes with the added benefit of a discount on purchases made that day, a complimentary cup of coffee and a biscuit. The unloading takes place during normal working hours on weekdays at times dictated by the planned delivery rounds given to the drivers concerned; there is normally a delivery or two each month and we spread the unloading duty amongst the pool of unloaders.
If anyone feels they can assist with Hut duties or unloading of deliveries please contact me the Hut Manager (07759 188156 or sl9gardenchalfont@gmail.com) or any other member of the club committee.
2024 season:
The Hut re-opened on Sunday, February 18th, 10 – 12, and will open every Sunday until and including November 10th.
