The Kent Group of the National Auricula and Primula Society was formed in 2004 by a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to meet on a regular basis all year round. Since our formation we have gone from strength to strength.
Our meetings take place at Sutton Valence Village Hall on a Saturday morning from 11am until 1pm. The Annual Show also takes place at this venue on a Sunday in April. We welcome speakers who are highly regarded in the Auricula and Primula world, some travelling many miles to join us.
Our Chairman and the Treasurer host a wonderful day at their home near Rye on the first Sunday in May, when members display their plants in a traditional Auricula Theatre. It is also a wonderful opportunity to chat, relax, enjoy super refreshments and talk plants.
The early start of the season sees members at the greenhouses of the Secretary to enjoy the Primula Allionii and hybrids.
We welcome all abilities, whether raw beginner or expert. We are proud of the fact that many members came to us with little or no experience in growing and are now putting their plants on the showbench and winning prize cards and trophies. We can help you over the problems that we have all experienced, source those difficult to find plants and generally enjoy to the full, a wonderful hobby.
We hope that after visiting this site you will be tempted to join our friendly group of Auricula and Primula growers which for 2012 is only £5 for single membership and £7 for familes. As a new member you will receive TWO FREE PLANTS to start you off on the road to a successful and rewarding hobby, with regular sales that offer plants at greatly reduced prices to our members.
