Garden Group 1 meet at least once a month, usually in the morning of the fourth Thursday of the month, although we occasionally meet at other times too.
The purpose of the group is to spend the summer months visiting gardens open to the public, either by travelling to fairly local gardens when we drive ourselves, or by coach to gardens further afield. We have about 3 coach trips per year, and during the months of November to January/February we have workshops and/or talks on garden-related issues.
Non-members of Garden Group 1 can join us on our coach trips (depending on availability of seats). Please see 'Forthcoming Events' below.
All talks are held at the Emmaus Centre (rear of St Barnabus Centre) and start at 2.15pm. Please arrive just after 2pm so we can start on time.
