Visit to Cambridge University Botanical Gardens

On the 30th July we had an excellent visit to the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens The forty seven members of the Bicker and Wigtoft Garden Clubs together with family and friends were rewarded by the extensive gardens looking spectacular with so much vibrant colour. This was especially true of the multitude of lavenders which cut endless swathes throughout the central garden areas. There was certainly something for everyone, not the least being the scented garden with its mix of fragrances. The glasshouses provided additional interest and surprises, in particular hanging rows of Jade Vine and their fruits plus the many tropical and intriguing plants. This was another very enjoyable and memorable day out.
