Prize-winning pumpkin at the 2008 Village Show.
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 organize a wide range of events (some more garden-related than others) throughout the year. See the Dates for your Diary section the left for a list of upcoming events. 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 subcommittee, we also manage the allotment site on behalf of the Recreation Ground Trust.
