Mount Pleasant in Kelsall

Home of Dave Darlington and Louise Worthington.
Situated on a hillside with impressive views of the Cheshire countryside, the garden is gently terraced, though steep in places.
In the 10 acres of landscaped garden and woodland which was started in 1994 you can find trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders, a vegetable garden, a stumpery, a wild flower meadow, a bog garden and a Japanese garden.

We will have a tour of the garden.
There is a small café selling hot and cold drinks and homemade cakes.
Morning coffee is not included in the price of the trip.

Abbey Wood in Delamere

The garden consists of 6 acres, all different and distinctive in their own right.
It includes the exotic garden, possibly just emerging from its winter storage, a vegetable garden, the chapel garden and a pool garden.
There is a large lawned area with beds and extensive woodlands with a new arboretum, all with connecting paths.

There is a café serving light lunches.
Please see menu and indicate your choice when you book.
The cost of lunch is not included in the price of the trip.

5 Cobbs Lane, Hough.

The home of David and Linda Race.
This is a plant person’s garden with island beds and wide cottage style herbaceous borders.
There are a large variety of hardy and some unusual perennials.
A water feature runs to a small pond and a wild life friendly area and the woodland is bordered by a small stream.

2. July 2023 Trip to RHS Bridgewater

As a Club, we have an institutional membership of the RHS and that allows us free group admittance to RHS Bridgewater for up to 55 members if entering together as a group.
We organised a visit of this ilk last year and it was very successful, and we are planning another group visit this summer.
We intend to visit on the morning of Thursday 6 July and, in order to enter as a group, those attending will need to gather together close by the entrance at 10.45 am.

This is a self-drive visit, with members getting there and back under their own steam - we are not as a Club booking a coach or mini-buses - and although once at RHS Bridgewater car park we will then need to congregate in order enter together, once inside everyone is free to wander off, do their own thing and then leave whenever they want.
In other words, there are no set group activities planned within the garden, though as well as gaining free admission this is of course a great opportunity to meet up with friends in the Club.
