Outings for 2020

“The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives.”  Gertrude Jekyll
Introduction
​Our coach outings to gardens and garden shows are enjoyed by all who join them and are seen by the committee as an important feature of CSGGA.  Not only do these trips enable us to be inspired by beautiful gardens, they are also a great way to meet old friends and make new ones. 

How to book - please click here for booking conditions 
​

​Prices shown are those for CSGGA Members.  There are sometimes places available for non-members but the price may differ.  If you are not yet a member of the Gardens Association but wish to enquire about making a booking please click here

Members should see their Newsletter for who to contact to make a booking. 


Planned Outings for 2022:

It is hoped that we will be able to resume our planned programme of outings, all of which were cancelled in 2020 and most in 2021.  Please watch this space for details, as a taster of things to come we plan to visit Pashley Manor and Caxton House Garden in Sussex on for their Tulip Festival which takes place between 20th April and 4th May.

Pashley Manor, East Sussex - to be confirmed
We will spend 3 hours at the award-winning Pashley Manor Gardens to coincide with their stunning Tulip Festival which features 35,000 tulips in one hundred and twelve different varieties, planted in colour themed garden ‘rooms’. Yet more tulips are on display as cut flowers in the ‘Bloms Bulbs’ marquee.  The gardens also feature a Bluebell Walk which is often in flower around the same time as the tulips. 
A guided tour is included when we arrive and there is time for lunch afterwards in their café if you wish (or take a picnic which may be eaten in the car park field). 
For more information go to: www.pashleymanorgardens.com/events/tulip-festival/
​We then move on to Caxton House (NGS) to explore the owners’ private gardens and enjoy a home-made cream tea before we return home.
The gardens include an Arboretum with wildflower garden, two well stocked ponds, a large collection of hellebores and spring flowers. There is also a small Gothic folly built by the owners. 
The gardener, Richard, will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. For more information go to:

We also hope to offer a Saturday visit to the National Memorial Arboretum and another garden.

​
We’d like to explore possible outings around Christmas time as no doubt we’ll be ready for something special again this year, do let us know if you have any suggestions.

 Watch this space for updates.
