Welcome to the Crewe & Nantwich District Association
of the National Vegetable Society
Welcome to the Crewe and Nantwich District Association of the National
Vegetable Society (NVS) of the United Kingdom. NVS is the premier
organisation in the United Kingdom for gardeners who are interested
in growing vegetables.
If your interest stretches from your garden or allotment to competitions
and shows, the society can help you with tips and hints on growing
better produce and showing it to its best advantage.
We hold monthly meetings usually with a talk from an expert on the
second Tuesday of the month in Crewe and full details can be found
in the Meetings section.
The objectives of the District Association are the same as the National
Vegetable Society but on a local scale. It is easy to join and
you can contact us here .
