Trading Centre
The trading hut will be open from 16th January 2023 at 10 am.
Sunday mornings are not only an opportunity to buy plants and other things for the garden but also to share gardening difficulties, pick up tips from other gardeners or just have a chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit. There is a good selection of gardening magazines and reference books available in the Hut and members are encouraged to use these. Our Allotment Secretary is usually in attendance for advice etc.
The Trading Hut is open most Sundays throughout the year from 10:00 to 12:30, but never on the first Sunday of the month, when there is a car boot sale at the school opposite.
If you are able to help out at the Trading Hut for a few hours on Sunday mornings once or twice a year, please contact the Trading Secretary Mark Cripps on (tradingadmin@growchiswick.org) . Volunteers are always needed to help with sales, membership and gardening advice.
The Trading Hut has a comprehensive range of gardening products for sale for the benefit of members at a discount below normal retail prices.
In season, we sell top quality seed potatoes, onion sets, shallots, garlic, spring bulbs, bedding plants and many popular and unusual plants.
Although we try to stock most things, if there is something that you need that you can’t find, do let Mark know and he will try to help you. Due to lack of space, we do not normally stock large items such as water butts but are happy to purchase these for anyone who needs them.

Hi – are you still open for plant etc sales on Sunday mornings at the moment? Thanks in advance!
Hello Vicky,
We are open every Sunday from 10.00 to 12.00 at the moment. In fact we never closed. We are short of potting compost at the moment but other supplies are as normal.
Remember we are a member only organisation.
I paid my membership online and don’t have a membership card – will there be an issue if I come to the trading hut this weekend?
Yes, I. Can confirm we have received your payment and I will issue a membership card when I see you.
I need 8ft bamboo canes. and tomato growbags. Have you any in stock please?
