Spring Show in 1930's
History of the Society
Following the opening of New Barnet station in 1850 the area around was soon developed and in 1897 local amateur gardeners got together to form our Society. The floral art section was added later and although they left for a time to run their own club, they rejoined us in the 1980's and we became The New Barnet Amateur Gardeners and Floral Art Society.
​
Originally there were four shows a year but the winter show was discontinued in the 60's as fewer people grew late flowering chrysanthemums and the summer show was cancelled at the end of the last century.
