Village Gardeners
Trip to Cambridge Botanic Gardens
Suitably clad in Macs and clutching large umbrellas, a group of us were taken
on a very interesting and informative tour of the gardens by one of their
volunteer guides. She concentrated on the 19th century garden (Trumpington
Street end) - part of the 40 acre site, where, as she said, things, especially
the trees, were at their best.
It was early for a lot of flowers but of their nine national collections, the saxifrages and geraniums were looking very attractive. We finished our tour in the warmth of the tropical house where our special treat was to see the spectacular Jade Vine in full flower.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 17th June when we are going on a visit to Wicken Fen. Please let Roger Connon know by 1st June if you would like to come. We shall meet at the Village Hall at 6.15pm.
