Join a friendly gardening group for over-50s in Berkshire

Discover the joy of veg & company with Twyford Growers, as the group invites over-50s to get involved this spring.

Do you have green fingers? Would you like to, but don’t know where to start? Join Twyford Growers – a local gardening group that brings people together to enjoy gardening in the great outdoors.

Twyford Growers meets weekly to grow fruit, flowers and vegetables in a friendly, sociable setting. Whether you already love gardening or want to try it for the first time, the group welcomes you.

The group meets on Thursday mornings at Hurst Road Allotments in Twyford. You’ll find the site near the train station, with parking, seating and toilets available.

At the end of each session, everyone comes together for a well-deserved tea break. The group welcomes older people from the local area, supports those living with dementia, and encourages carers to join in too. To find out more, email twyfordgrowers@gmail.com or call 07718 882792.

Twyford Growers forms part of the wide range of activities that Age UK Berkshire runs to help older people stay socially connected. Developing interests matters at any age, especially as we grow older.

If you’re over 50 and live locally, you can enjoy a full calendar of events through Age UK Berkshire. The organisation runs social groups, seated yoga classes, choirs and much more.

Emily Lowson says: “Alongside activities, Age UK Berkshire delivers a range of support services. We provide free information and advice, a home help plus service, a handyperson service, and Home from Hospital, which helps you settle back at home after a hospital stay. We also offer a fully qualified one-to-one dementia support service, giving care to people living with dementia and vital respite to their carers and loved ones.”
