Garden
The group meets on the third Friday of the month from March to October. On these days we normally visit a garden which is open to the public under the Scotland’s Garden Scheme, but may open by arrangement to groups such as ours. During peak gardening months we also occasionally visit members' gardens on an ad hoc basis. Most visits take place in the afternoon and occasionally we enjoy a full day out, but always attempt to return before 5pm.
Members share their love of plants and gardens. We learn from each other about garden design and plants suitable for Peeblesshire gardens. The programme tries to offer variety for members’ shared pleasure, inspiration and education. Not all our members have gardens and we are certainly not all experts in plants or garden design, although some of our members are very knowledgeable! In February we hold a planning meeting where we draw up a programme for the season from suggestions made by members for visits to local gardens and nurseries, although occasionally further afield. At the end of the year we normally hold a pot-luck lunch or an afternoon tea.
