This group is led by Sue Moller.
For those with green fingers and for those who just enjoy visiting gardens in good company, we meet every 2nd Tuesday afternoon of the month for garden visits. We swap seeds and plants and anything else the group are interested in. In the winter months we meet at Sue’s home for Garden-related talks.
Most gardens open for 2 p.m. and afternoon refreshments are usually included in the cost. We usually meet up for lunch together at a local eatery before the garden visit itself.
If you would like to join a visit, please contact Sue via the contact form.
