ON September 12, members visited Hanbury Hall where they had a unique opportunity to tour the gardens in the company of head gardener Neil Cook.

He gave a very interesting talk on the history of the gardens and the challenges he and his staff face in maintaining the gardens to a very high standard.

On Monday, October 10 the association will be holding its AGM in the community room of the Baptist Church, Cookhill, starting at 7.30 pm. All current members and anyone interested in joining are cordially invited to attend.
