Several members were able to meet on Monday 21st February to tour a garden at West Plains Road. It is a great eclectic garden – full of tunnel houses, stables, great greenery trees, shrubs, sheds, sunflowers the size of large platters and many more surprises. We still needed our umbrellas – but not for too long. The strawberries from the tunnel houses were YUMMY!
