We visit gardens and sometimes garden centres during the colder months. Our aim is to admire the displays and appreciate the skill and imagination of the gardeners whether it is an historic garden or a municipal park. Obviously, this is an outdoor activity and involves some walking albeit at a relaxed pace. Usually, we set out in the morning but meeting times vary, as do travel arrangements, depending on the location of the venue. When it is possible, we suggest using public transport but, when necessary, we travel by car so having your own transport is useful. Occasionally a meeting can last a whole day but generally we aim to be home before ‘school time’ in the afternoon. Inevitably a visit to a café or tea-room at the venue will be made.
