Day Trip to RHS Wisley, to visit their Garden and their Annual Flower Show
Saturday 11th September 2021
PLEASE NOTE From 30th June, this trip is now available to members and non members alike
Here is an opportunity to enjoy a day out at the world famous RHS garden at Wisley, without having to worry about the driving! The RHS vision is to enrich everyone's lives through plants, and visiting Wisley will give us a chance to see the plants at their very best. We can see how they should be grown and may benefit from the expert knowledge of the RHS staff.
In addition, our visit will coincide with their Annual Flower Show, which was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. It usually includes many nurseries and trade stands selling plants, a Surrey NAFAS flower display, That National Dahlia Society Annual Show as well as all the "usuals". Check out their website for more details www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/wisley/RHS-Garden-Wisley-Flower-Show.
Please note, you do not need to be a member of the RHS to come on this trip, but you will be responsible for your own entrance cost to the garden. As a member you would get in free, plus one other, but if you are not we believe they will be charging £14.40 per head. However we are hopeful that we shall have so many members going, we shall be able to "pair" people up to get free access for all - but no promises!
Included
PLEASE NOTE, THAT SHOULD THIS TRIP NEED TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO COVID, WE SHALL REFUND THE COST OF THE TICKET IN FULL, AS WE DID LAST YEAR.
There is a restaurant serving home-cooked food using local produce, light snacks and cakes. Alternatively you may choose to bring along a packed lunch. There is also an excellent Plant Centre (and of course the Flower Show) with a wide range of plants for sale. You are free to spend your time as you wish. We would expect to be back at Colehill by about 6 p.m. depending on traffic.
Cost:
Members £18.00
