From the following, I would really appreciate it if you can all take one second to review and choose what you think is the most professional/best group name for our new gardening society in Shropshire. This is a group that will involve aged right down to as young as teenagers to the elderly. Royal Shropshire Gardening Society Shropshire Gardening Society Royal Society for Shropshire Gardening Royal Shropshire Horticultural Society Shropshire Horticulture Society Please feel free to pass this forum onto friends and ask for them to pick their opinion.

    Why is the word Royal included in so many of the possible names?  It's hard to choose a name unless one knows the relevance.

    It was just an idea we drafted thought as we used it a few times we thought it would be best to at least draft the idea. But thank you for your feedback.

    If you are officially entitled to use 'Royal' then I guess you have to use it.image Are you legally/officially a 'society'? If you don't have to be so formal/old fashioned, I would just say 'Gardening for Everyone in Shropshire'image

    Can we vote if we're not from Shropshire?

    I like Shropshire Gardening Society.

    Thank you Phillippa and Dove, very constructive and useful feedback. Maybe a re-think is in order.

    artjak... I shall look into this personally as I'm not sure you need to e within rights to use the title "society" or "royal" as I said above these are drafts by the founding group memenbers and not chosen yet we woul like to bring an open group of gardeners of all ages to Shropshire where we really make a difference by reaching out to those who a keep to become "green fingered" but are either not sure where to start or are unsure/scared to start. Also we intend to start visiting regional/national gardening events and then after a while start our own little events we would also offer our volunteering services to the local council, community and get involved with local activities within our interests. We want to represent Shropshire of course, look professional but welcoming to all. If you have any ideas other than the above please feel free to post.

    If you want to be inclusive leave out Royal and Society whether you have the right to them or not. You won't bring the youngsters in words like thatimage

    You mention the term green fingered. How about including that? It sounds more alive.
