GARDENING CLUB: On June 14 members made an evening visit to Bourton House Garden. After an introduction to the history of the house and garden by owner Monique Paice, the head gardener Paul Nicholls showed members around the three-acre garden. Having toured the garden, members returned home laden with plants and full of inspired ideas for their own gardens.

The next meeting on July 12 will be an evening stroll around members' gardens, concluding with a barbecue. Meet at 6.30pm under the Oaks in Ebrington.
