This month we took a coach trip to Cambridge visiting 3 beautiful gardens.

The day out visiting three gardens around Cambridge, started early with picking up the coach at Boreham Village. Always a lot of chatting when hardy planters get together and this was no exception. Each of the gardens visited was a reflection of its owner and thus very different. While having our tea and cakes (or a lovely cream tea at one garden) we discussed that particular garden, maybe even go back to check something that you missed but another member spotted as a “treasure”. Hug old woodland trees or sit on a seat swing gently rocking and contemplating a colourful flower bed. Walking through a gate, confronting a perfect traditional thatched cottage with a garden matching, full of colour and old favourites. A happy day, beautifully organised with a bunch of friendly, knowledgeable people, sharing their love of gardens and gardening.
