Horticultural Society
The AERE Horticultural Society has roots stretching back to before 1950. It was also affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) that runs Chelsea Flower Show. A magazine from 1950 tells the tale of very large horticultural shows at Harwell with prizes including the "Bankistan" Medal RHS and the "Smallholder Certificate of Merit".Membership
Today (May 2004) the HLRA Horticultural Society has no active members who work on site, which is a real shame! Surely there are HLRA members who would like to revive this once great HLRA club? If you do then start small (open garden visit etc.) and hopefully the idea will grow. Who knows you may end up competing for the original prizes!Club Contacts
