Our group aims to look at different styles and types of gardens in our immediate area and further afield. Garden visits offer a delightful experience for nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts. The UK boasts a rich variety of public gardens, from the historical grandeur of Powis Castle & Garden to the creative displays at Wollerton Old Hall Garden.
Car sharing is our usual method of transport. It has been agreed that drivers will be reimbursed at £5 pp for local journeys up to 25 miles, and £10 pp for longer day visits. We have a small number of regular drivers and it is up to each member to arrange their own lifts.
