Severnvale Smallholders' Association

 

We are a group of people whose main interests are:

  • Flora and Fauna
  • The Environment
  • Conservation
  • Organic Growing

We meet at the Chantry in Thornbury at 7.30 on the third Wednesday of every month, over the winter months, to hear enthusiastic speakers talk about their favourite topics. Visitors are most welcome (you do not have to be a smallholder) to join us in an informal friendly atmosphere.
