This year approximately 30 members visited Flint Cottage in Bishopsbourne where they were treated to a meander around the garden belonging to Mr & Mrs P J Sinnock. The garden is part of the national garden scheme raising money for charity.

A pleasant evening was spent wandering around the small garden: the entrance to the garden having large Scots pine under planted with trees and shrubs and wildlife pond. In the main garden there were 3 ponds and 2 water features; bog areas; mixed borders; alpines in sink gardens; herb garden; vegetables in raised beds. Members also received tasty refreshments served by Mr and Mrs Sinnock.

Next month the speaker’s for the evening (Wednesday 4th July) will be Mr and Mrs Ian Stone with a talk entitled ‘On top of the world – Nepal and Tibet’
