Blandford Museum Victoria's Garden

The Museum Garden Club is called "Victoria's Garden" because we emphasize Victorian Heritage crops.

These are varieties that cannot currently be sold as seeds, but can be cultivated in clubs and

private private gardens. By growing these varieties we ensure that they will not become extinct.

A membership form is available online by clicking here

Please fill in the form, print,

sign and mail the form to the address shown. We will send you information about our workdates.

A membership in the garden club automatically gives you membership to the Blandford Museum.

ABOUT GIFT AID:

Provided you are a UK taxpayer and happy to make a simple declaration,

the Museum can reclaim the portion of tax applicable to your subscription. 

This will make your subscription more valuable to the Museum by nearly a quarter

– a substantial benefit.  All you need do is sign and we will do the rest.

We would be most grateful if you signed the gift aid section.
