Welcome to the FGA!

Everyone in Foxton is automatically a member of Foxton Gardens Association. Our role is to enhance village life through all things horticultural. We organise a wide range of events (some more garden-related than others) throughout the year.


The highlight of our year is the Village Show in autumn: we warmly encourage all village residents to exhibit or to come and visit on the day.


Through the allotments sub-committee, we also manage the allotment site on behalf of the Recreation Ground Trust.


The FGA is an affiliated society of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
