Cook Hall Gardens
A good visit to this little gem of a garden. We were all so enthusiastic and keen to be out and about that we had to wait for the coffee shop to open!!
Lovely to see the gardens starting to come to life after the long winter. The Camellias, Dwarf Tulips and Daffodils were lovely to see on this damp overcast morning.

Wynyard Gardens
We all had a fabulous day at Wynyard Gardens. The weather was perfect for a stroll around the gardens and estate. So quiet and peaceful. There were plenty of seating areas to sit and look at the fountains and gardens. It was good to have a catch up, and yes the cheese scones were delicious.

Thornton Hall Gardens
Great to see everyone today. Made for a good visit to these stunning gardens. The weather was not as good as last year but it did not deter from the beauty of the gardens.

Alnwick Gardens
It was a fabulous day at Alnwick gardens. The cherry blossom was a little past it’s best but there was still blossom out in other parts of the garden. Plenty to see and enjoy.
