Last month members enjoyed a lovely visit to Packwood House and gardens in Warwickshire.
The dry day enabled us to enjoy walks around the kitchen garden, the Yew garden with over 100 trees of varying ages heights and health, the Orchard with bee hives, the Carolean garden, a spiral walk up the Mound to view the House and a walk around the lake. Some even ventured along the marked trails through the wood.
The House was last owned by the Ash family and was restored to its Tudor character with lots of artefacts and furniture of that period. The house has a warm, cosy atmosphere, with lots to enjoy, and is well worth a visit if you have never been.
This month we welcome Lizzie Impey who has a Cutting Garden at Priory Wood and she will be talking about her work there. All are welcome at 1.30 on Tuesday 18th June at the John Godber Centre. We will also be taking names and monies for our next trip in July to East Riddlesdon in Yorkshire.
Enjoy your plots as they flourish in this warm wet weather!
