Plants and Gardens

We are finally resuming our regular garden visits after only managing one in 2020 and 2 in 2021!

We had our first visit in 2022 to Highdown to see the snowdrops and our second, in March to see the daffodils and hellebores at West Dean.
See pics and report on right: March 2022
There is no visit planned for April as I will be away. Highdown is always a good (free!) option.
We have a trip planned to Leonardslee on 11th May. Please contact me if you wish to go.

What do we do?

We meet once a month from February to October for a visit to a garden - usually NGS and usually a private visit just for us.
The owners are usually on hand to show us around and chat with us. There is always lovely home made cake!

We try to meet during the winter to look at photographs of our own gardens and also those we visited. Cake is also involved plus plants and seed swapping.

You can read about our 2019 visits by clicking the files on the right and view the pictures by clicking the collage on the right.

Visits are all prebooked. You cannot just turn up! See notes IMPORTANT below and contact the Leader.

Group Leader: Masha White
Meetings: 3rd Wednesday of the month usually.

Venue: The venues for the year are arranged in advance and members pay me in advance either online or with cash. No cheques.
We all make our own way and meet at the venue. We try to car share as much as possible for the sake of the environment.

Costs: Gardens entrance fee plus refreshments paid in advance.

IMPORTANT You must sign up as a member of the Plants and Gardens group in order to receive the details of the planned visits so that you can book and pay for those you wish to visit.
The visits are not usually advertised in the Bulletin as we usually meet the maximum number allowed for each garden.
