Chelsea Physic Garden  September 2024

Being a walled garden, there are a lot of plants growing outside that you wouldn't expect to find in England.  There is a fine fernary and tropical greenhouses.
Well worth the visit!

Kensington Gardens May 2025
Twelve of us caught the underground to  Lancaster Gate - Kensington Gardens. Had a lovely walk-through the royal park viewing the Italian Gardens/fountains, Peter Pan statue and Diana Memorial fountain in Hyde Park. Caught bus back to Charing Cross and home. 

Isabella Plantation, Richmond Park April 2026

Parks and Gardens Group enjoyed a wonderfully sunny day at the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park. 

Stunning views, swathes of bluebells and eye popping colours of the azaleas/rhododendrons. Lots of walking and fresh air rounded off with a well needed cuppa! 🍵 Jill Bryant
