1st Tuesday
At selected garden
Leader: Ann Darling
Our garden visits have now finished for 2025. We visited four wonderful gardens between May and September. Our beautiful summer this year made our visits all the more enjoyable as the gardens provided lots of interest and variety. Our entry fees and refreshments totalled £1149, which the garden owners donated to either the NGS charities or a charity of their choice. An Away Day to Houghton Lodge, Stockbridge, Hampshire in August was attended by 28 members. This was a glorious garden overlooking the river Test and we were lucky to have beautiful weather again in which to enjoy the walks around the many areas and by the riverside.
I have resigned as group leader after 8 years, so unless anyone comes forward this group will no longer be able to go ahead in 2026. If anyone is willing to take on the role, I am very happy to help with the changeover. Please contact me by email or mobile phone details above.
I would like to thank all those garden visit members who donated to a garden gift voucher on my resignation. I look forward very much to buying a few plants to remember my time with you on visits. I have enjoyed meeting all of you over the years and look forward to seeing you at other U3A events.
