It was by chance that Vanessa Thompson discovered a page of “Random Notes on the History of Grayshott Horticultural Society<\/strong>” in an old file. The “Random Notes” describe the revival in 1961 of the old Hindhead and Grayshott Horticultural Society, how a small but determined group of village enthousiasts managed to restart a moribund gardening society virtually from scratch, with a Show, an AGM, a constitution and a democratically elected committee in their first year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
