Gardening GroupClick 
for some reports on past visits
We are for gardeners who have any size garden - from a window box to an acre.
We meet at each other's homes, (and other local venues), to swap ideas/plants/seeds etc.
We are currently visiting gardens and garden centre's, including those with restricted opening, e.g. by appointment or open only to recognised groups. Winter activities are being organised.
All you need is a love of plants.
