Exploring Gardens is a group visiting different gardens on the first Thursday of each month. ( weather dependent) If you would like to be part of this group please contact either Beth, Debbie or Ruth.
Please note that for various reasons not all visits fall on the first Thursday of the month so please check the dates. For all visits we will meet at the gardens at 2pm.The maximum cost per garden is £10 per head, which generally goes straight to one of the NGS chosen charities. This sum covers the garden entry and tea & cake.

2025 Visits
Wisley
3.04.2025
Members of the Exploring Gardens group spent a lovely afternoon at Wisley on 3rd April to officially kick off our programme of garden visits 2025.
Highlights included the last blossom, the camellias, magnolias and of course the "dinosaur" ( if you know you know) A few early rhododendrons were out, too. We were so lucky with the weather!
Sadly, not so lucky with the cake-most of us had vouchers for a free cake with a hot drink - but Hilltop Cafe had mostly sold out by the time we arrived. But that didn't spoil what was otherwise a very enjoyable day, and has given ua a good excuse to return for cake soon... by which time, there might be some eggs in the nest of a rather industrious goose, who used a green roof as a base for her nest!
