Each year we arrange at least one members' visit to a local garden of interest, complete with refreshments.
This year our main visit will be to the Grange at Chalgrove in Oxfordshire on 2 July. We also have a visit to Springfield Farm, Butler's Cross, on 11 June. Please see the Events Calendar for more information about the location and time of the visits.

There is a lake with bridges and a planted island, a dry river bed and a labyrinth. A brook runs through the garden with a further pond, arboretum, old orchard and partly walled vegetable garden.
Springfield Farm, Butlers Cross
