Petersham Horticultural Society

History

The PHS dates back to at least 1895, but the earliest item in the records is the 10th Summer Show in July 1905, when there were classes for Cottagers and Allotment Holders, Amateur Subscribers and children under 15. The early schedules and minutes of meetings are a record of social history and make fascinating reading. They include advertisements for the shops which once lined Petersham Road.

New members are very welcome: The annual subscription is just £1.00 per household, though members are encouraged to give more. The Society is not a charitable organisation, but local causes are supported.
