On Monday 16th February a number of the members of Bicker Garden Club joined a coach trip run by Wigtoft Garden Club. The outing was to Brodsworth Hall near Doncaster. Everyone had an enjoyable time. The weather was fine and mild - a great contrast to that of recent weeks - and the gardens were stunning.
