Members return from a successful holiday

Members spent a wonderful week staying at The Burlington Palm Hotel in Great Yarmouth last week. Visiting 5 gardens and a journey on a steam train all went down well. A optional trip to the theatre proved popular too. Not much rain to speak of and 5 very diffent gardens.

Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum on Monday
Oxbugh Hall and Gardens on Tuesday
A trip to the theatre in Gorleston on Tuesday evening
Peter Beales Rose Garden and a journey on the Mid Norfolk Railway on Wednesday
Somerleyton Hall and Gardens on Thursday
Dancing in the hotel on Thursday evening

Photos from members will follow - I will keep the gardens in separate posts.

Holiday Preparations

The Tiverton Garden Club sub committee who organises the day trips and holidays met this week to discuss the final arrangements for the Club's annual holiday. A return visit to Great Yarmouth and visiting 5 gardens in Norfolk and Suffolk.

All we wish for now is nice weather and I will report with pictures when we get back.

Garden Visit to Broomhill Sculpture Garden

Members enjoyed a trip to north Devon for a visit to Trelawny Garden Centre at Barnstaple before visiting Broomhill Scupture Garden just outside Barnstaple.

A hot buffet lunch was provided which members enjoyed before wandering around the paths of the garden to see the varied, often strange, sculptures.

A sunny afternoon saw many members sitting on the terrace sipping tea whilst chatting to each other.
