Garden Visit

TGS have arranged a private view of the garden at Crewe Hill in Crewe-by-Farndon, part of the Barnston Estate Crewe Hill has been a family home since the late 18th century and underwent a major garden restoration project in the 1980s. Having travelled the world in the course of work, Michael and Inger returned to Cheshire in 1983 and started to create a garden that would reflect their travels and love of unusual trees and shrubs.  We hope to have an introductory talk by the head gardener but this is still tbc. Start time is 14.30. Cost will be £5 per person (whether member or not). Payment in advance only, please pay via bank transfer to the TGS account then confirm the numbers and names attending to the TGS email address(see top of page).  An e-mail has been sent to members with the bank details but non-members can contact our e-mail address for details. Please share transport if possible. More detailed directions will be sent on to attendees nearer the time.   

This is a joint trip to visit two sites to the northern outskirts of Chester. Transport is not provided and participants need to make their own way to the sites - car sharing is encouraged (there is limited parking at Cheshire Market Gardens). We will be meeting at Cheshire Market Gardens on Mannings Lane at 17.30 to see the 'no-dig' garden of Lisa Borghesi who came to speak to us last October. https://www.cheshiremarketgardens.com/ https://www.instagram.com/cheshiremarketgardens/?hl=en-gb At approximately 18.30 we will move onto the Chester Zoo Nature Reserve, where you can choose to follow the guided tour of the reserve with Chloe Aldridge (also a previous TGS speaker on several occasions) or follow your own path. The car park closes at 21.00 so we will need to leave before then! Pre-booking IN ADVANCE only please (ASAP now).  Please pay via bank transfer to the Tattenhall Gardening Society account then email the society email address confirming the number & names of attendees.  Any queries to the TGS email address (detailed on page header).   CHESHIRE MARKET GARDENS What3Words: poet.sketch.community Google point: 53°12'41.6"N 2°51'37.3"W https://goo.gl/maps/wvw3Wt6gUsViR6D78 CHESTER ZOO NATURE RESERVE what3words: push.banana.seated Google point: 53°13'42.6"N 2°53'10.7"W https://goo.gl/maps/g6k5311nXC9L7Yws8
