WELCOME TO NEWTON PARK H.S.
Founded 1939 it is situated on the Newton Park West site alongside the park in Rayners Lane. Pedestrian entrance is by 321 Alexandra Ave just downhill of the Drake Road junction. Loading access for bulky items/large orders is via the access road by 1 Drake Road.
Open two hours every Sunday morning from 10.30 am to 12.30pm it stocks a wide selection of all the consumables any gardener usually requires sold at very competitive prices. Whether you want seeds, pots, composts, foods or poisons, netting, ground cover, hose adaptors or a whole host of many other items, it is always worth checking us out first.
In season we also stock bulbs and tubers such as daffodils, tulips, crocii, hyacinths, gladiolas, potatoes, onions (main and Autumn/japanese) etc..

The 2024 show was held on 31st August this year. Entries were slightly down on the previous year but this was mainly due to a season of especially poor weather. The Flower section was hit particularly hard and as a result entries were down. The Gardeners chant was often heard “next year will be better.”
Well as is always the case, plans are already being made for the 2025 show, venue and judges are booked, and fingers are crossed for a wonderful growing season. The date to put in your diaries is Saturday 6th September.
The best place to keep up to date with news, events bargains etc is at our Trading Shed. More than anything – join in and support your Society, especially our Show.
