Garden Visits
Contact: to be confirmed
The Group welcomes new members and we form friendships over tea and cake which is a must for any visit. There are so many places we didn’t get to see this year (thanks to the rain) but there is always next year!
In 2023 the visits included snowdrops, daffodils and rhododendrons; formal gardens and open garden visits.
In 2022 Ranging from 6 to 10 members, we visited gardens throughout the Kingdom, from open woodland areas covered in Snowdrops in Aberdour to Estate Gardens at Backhouse Rossie which boasts the longest interrupted Rose Pergola in the country and naturally our own glorious Botanic Gardens in St Andrews. We were fortunate to have guided tours when we visited the Ecology Centre and CLEAR Buckhaven and Methil. It really opens your eyes to learn the history, aims, objectives and the everyday efforts in keeping these organisations open for the public to view and the community to learn from a growing environment.
