We met at the home of one of our members recently and had an ID session. i.e. tied labels on plants we didn’t know the name of and we researched what they were and chatted about other plants etc. followed by a cream tea! 

The gardening group took a walk in the arboretum of Langley Park, learning more about trees.  Some of us were lucky enough to get tickets for a talk ‘The Winter Garden’’ by the owner of St Timothee’s in Pinkneys Green, which was very interesting. Her garden looked great and we enjoyed finding pockets of colour and form. The Group recently visited the Venus Garden at `Windsor castle.

Delightful photos displayed by the group. Thank you Liz for sharing these.

An Informal relaxed group of like minded people.

Gardening group visit to Albury Park , Surrey 22/3/26

This summer, visitors to Windsor Castle can walk through a newly designed garden as part of their visit. The Venus Garden, originally created by George IV in the 1820s, sits beneath the famous east side of Windsor Castle. Formerly known as the East Terrace Garden, it has been transformed according to His Majesty The King’s vision. The redesigned garden is inspired by the path of Venus as it orbits the Sun. Traced over eight years, Venus’s orbit creates a five-petalled floral pattern, a shape used in sacred architecture by several cultures. This pattern has inspired the layout of new planting and hedge-lined paths.
