Due to an administrative cock-up, the previously advertised Winn Club trip to RHS Rosemoor is actually this Thursday, June 18th (our diary editor thought they were on the 2nd Thursday of the month, and has been duly reprimanded)

​

RHS Rosemoor is one of the West Country's finest gardens to visit. In addition to viewing Lady Anne’s original garden, the Rose Gardens, the Fruit and Vegetable Garden, the Arboretum and the Lake and Bog Garden , there is a garden centre and a choice of refreshment establishments.

​

This bus leaves the car park at 9:30 on Thursday.  For tickets please contact Sue Hayes on 01643 851372

Its a good week for the green-fingered amongst you after the inaugural meeting of the Winsford Gardening Club.

 

Aside from the Winn Club trip to RHS Rosemoor (see above), on Thursday there is a talk to the Dulverton Gardening Club by horticulturalist and plant historian Caradoc Doy on ‘Plants Behaving Badly’ - an illustrated look at a range of popular and well-known garden plants which can easily cause much trouble in the garden to the unaware.

​

On Sunday there is the annual Dulverton Secret Gardens event - twelve of its unique and very different gardens open to the public for just one day
