No meeting in August so we are off on our holidays – whether far away or just in our own gardens. If you are staying local then there are a few events and gardens opening that you may not want to miss –

2 – 3 August RHS Bridgewater Summer Bulb Weekend Come along to a fabulous floral weekend. Enjoy vibrant displays, helpful expert advice and specialist nursery stalls from Blue Bell Cottage and Pheasant Acre. RHS Members go free. You don’t have to book for the event, but – this event takes place in the garden. To enter the garden, please pre-book a time slot ahead of your visit.

There are only a few gardens open under the NGS this month including Yew Trees near Eccleshall, Moat Hall near Shrewsbury, Buntingsdale Park Gardens (group of gardens) near Market Drayton and Goldstone Hall Gardens which are also open on Sept 10^th. Look on the NGS website for all details and for gardens open in other areas – or use the NGS app on your phone.

If you are travelling further afield in the UK and in need of ideas have a look on our Links page to be guided to places to visit. You will also find ideas on our Photos page from previous holidays – please remember to send your garden holiday photos to us to inspire others.

Our next meeting will be on September 11th – more details on our Programme page or come back here later in August.
