Spring 2025 Meeting

Derbyshire

Saturday 17th May

In the morning, we are delighted to be able to have the chance to visit the private garden of a keen maple collector and plant enthusiast in Derbyshire. This garden is not generally open to the public and we are very much looking forward to the visit.

The afternoon will be spent at the renowned Bluebell Arboretum and Nursery, where we can admire the fabulous tree collection before taking the opportunity to explore the tempting plants available in the nursery.

In the evening, there will be a group meal arranged in the Derby environs – details to be finalised.

Sunday 18th May

The morning will see a visit to the famous Cascades Gardens near Matlock, a Japanese inspired garden with a lovely range of planting and trees. We will be given a guided tour of the gardens by the staff and you will then be free to explore.

We are currently arranging the afternoon but this may be a visit to Packhorse Farm Nursery – details to follow.
