Good evening everyone,
Many thanks for those who were able to attend the Stackpole walled garden visit, as well as being so lucky with the weather, the talks by Debbie and Harriet was both interesting and enjoyable.
Our next visit will be to Colby gardens on the 16th of April starting at 10am and lasting about an hour, many thanks to Andy Dawe for leading this talk and walk session and for the information below.
If you’re not a National Trust member, then the cost wIll be £8 per person, but Andy has suggested that if we had more than 15 attendees then we maybe eligible for a discount for non members?
Therefore, can you please give me a heads up on if your attending please?
Suggest you wear suitable footwear and clothing, and after calling at reception, then can we meet at Colby (Bothy) next door to the tea room at 10am please, also if you need transport, then please get in touch with me.
The visit includes a tour of the walled garden and gardens surrounding the meadow and lasting 90 minutes. Dogs are welcome in all but the walled garden, but must be kept on a lead at all times.
The tea room is open, and there are lots of Rhododendrons and Camellia in bloom and the Bluebell are just appearing.
Then on the 24th of April, we have a permaculture talk with Caz and her friend Nihm at the Village Hall, starting at 7pm and lasting around an hour.
Many thanks to Caz and Nihm for doing this for us, so please make every effort to attend.
The Narberth Big Plant sale is on Saturday the 4th of May and at the Town Moore, see link below;
Throughout the summer, we have the National Garden Scheme with numerous gardens open to the public and within 25miles radius, see
https://www.ngs.org.uk/find-a-garden/?from_date=&to_date=&date=all_dates&by_arrangement=0&order_by=date&location=SA678QJ%20. Perhaps we can discuss which of the NGS gardens you would like to visit at our meeting on April 24th?
Suggest we also ask Leah and Sola if we can visit Greenacre Market Garden later in the summer?
Finally, more information on visits to Picton Castle and Aberglasney at a later date.
Many thanks for your support,
Roy
