What we do

Our group comprises members with an interest in plants, gardens and gardening. We meet at each others homes over the winter months with visits to gardens of interest in the spring / summer. We learn from each other, discuss topics of interest and swap plants / seeds / produce etc.

With 15 members the group is currently full.

Reports

July 2008
Our two contrasting outings in June and July to Sprint Mill, Burneside and Rydal Hall, Ambleside were very successful and have whetted our appetite for similar events next year, hopefully in conjunction with the Monday Group. Meanwhile we look forward to further visits to each other’s homes and gardens – please see the newsletter diary for details. In December we plan to have a garden centre visit with Christmas lunch.
Our meetings programme is as follows:

March 2008
We have only just been formed but following the last newsletter new members have flooded in. At 16 we have had to declare our group full – members’ houses and gardens just can’t cope with any more! We have met at each other’s houses, viewed the gardens and discussed a different topic each month. In the next few months we have arranged two outings to which the Monday Garden Group have been invited.
