Outings for 2023

“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.  Final details regarding timings, etc. will be notified approximately a week before the outing is due to take place.

Borde Hill and 47 Denmans Lane, Haywards Heath - Wednesday 3rd May, 2023

Click here for full details and booking form
Borde Hill Gardens is set within 383 acres of heritage listed Parkland – a paradise for plants which captivates and delights visitors with a series of intimate living ‘Garden rooms’ which include a Paradise Walk, Rose Garden, Round Dell, Garden of Allah and Azalea Ring.
The Gardener’s Retreat Café (no indoor seating but tables with umbrellas) will be open so you can buy lunch or just take a picnic. https://bordehill.co.uk/
47 Denmans Lane is a privately owned National Gardens Scheme garden. This beautiful and tranquil 1 acre garden was described by Sussex Life as a 'Garden Where Plants Star'. Created by the owners over the past 20 years, it is planted for interest throughout the year. Jim Stockwell, the owner, says “Early May is a lovely time in our garden. Some daffs may just be hanging on, but tulips should be at their best.”

The cost for this outing is £38 which covers entrance to both gardens, tea/coffee/cake at Denmans Lane, coach travel and driver’s gratuity. Non members and guests pay £43.  ​
