Garden Lovers
Garden Lovers in the time of Covid-19
Unfortunately we were unable last year to follow our planned programme of garden visits for 2020. The reason has been the undesirability of sharing cars when getting to the gardens.
Now, in March 2021 we can cautiously make plans for our sub-groups, Seafront Gardens and Plant Sharing, to restart operations. See what is happening by clicking on these two groups.
The prospects for Garden Lovers are not as good for the time being. The car-sharing problem remains but perhaps all may become clearer as the lockdown eases. It may be that we will be able to arrange visits to very local gardens in the Lyme area.

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.
