Visits, Walks and Talks
Our events team provides us with some wonderful experiences., organising
visits to gardens less well known, perhaps very rarely opened.
On these visits, often it is the owner or head gardener who will show us round. Hearing the stories behind the garden provides a whole new dimension to the visitor experience. It's not surprising that our summer garden visits are very popular. Our regular Newsletter includes short reports about visits and also winter talks and will give you a better idea of the range of events. Members are also encouraged to contribute text and photos for these. Please look through our Newsletter archive and you will be able to read all about these fantastic events
