It is believed that DKHS was established in 1881 because in September 2014 we will be holding our 123rd Annual Show at Townstal Community Hall, Dartmouth. We also hold a Spring Show in early April, which is mainly for daffodils and camellias. We have about six presentations with slides from visiting speakers during the year. These are provided by the £10 annual subscription. To raise funds we hold two Plant Sales and Coffee Mornings usually in May and October. We also organise a spring or summer coach trip to a beautiful garden in the South West of England. This popular visit is extra to the subscription, costing IRO £25 to include all fees excluding lunch.
