Garden Lovers
Garden Lovers in the time of Covid-19
Unfortunately we were unable to follow our planned programme of garden visits for 2020. The reason has been the undesirability of sharing cars when getting to the gardens. We shall hopefully be able to use the same programme of visits in 2021.
To keep things ticking over we established a "Gardeners' Questions" help desk manned by Gill Steinberg, Sue Back, Mary Rogers and Jenny Short. I am acting as question-master. Send your questions to me (e.g. what is this plant?) by clicking on vice-chair@lru3a.org and I'll pass them on to our panel. They will reply directly to you, copying each other. Keep your questions coming!
For those missing our garden trips please try the National Garden Scheme website - click on ngs.org.uk - and take a look at their Virtual Garden Tours.

If you love gardens, tea and cake, why not join a group of garden lovers? We visit gardens privately, having made a prior appointment with the owner. We do not go on days set aside for the National Garden Scheme but use these dates as an indication of when the garden is likely to be at its best. Lifts can be organised for anyone who does not want to drive. Some of the visits are by coach.
We also have some members who are willing to show their own gardens to others, and on these occasions we bring along any spare plants and seeds for anyone to take. This aspect is organised by the Plant Sharing group.
Our year starts in about April in the Woodmead Hall when we hold a general meeting with coffee for all members. Details of our planned garden visits are presented and members are invited to sign up. Also invited to this meeting are members of the Seafront Gardens and Plant Sharing groups.
Group Leader: Mary Bohane (01297 444566) or please e-mail the Group Leader using the contact form below.
