Group leader: Liz

Or plan is to meet fortnightly in each other's gardens through the gardening season (March/April to October) to enjoy and learn from each other's gardens, to discover what works or doesn't work in our shared local conditions, and to swap ideas (also seeds and cuttings?) and get inspiration . . . and then coffee.

No experience is required, just a keen interest and a garden in any state - from a wilderness to the dizzy heights of the NGS! We are almost full, but there is probably still room for one or two more members, so click on the Group Email above if you're interested.

We'll meet on Tuesday afternoons, depending on members' availability, and start on 13 April to be well clear of Easter. However, we could also meet in late March if anyone has an early spring garden they'd like to show.

The idea for this group emerged from enjoyment in visiting other people's gardens, and the realisation that in many ways our 'normal' gardens command as much interest as the great gardens of the National Trust, and hold more practical potential.
