Chelsea Physic Garden / Garden Museum, anyone?

Last year a few of us met up to visit the new Broad Walk at Kew (see thread) and an idea was mooted about visiting the Chelsea Physic Garden and / or the Garden Museum this year. I was just wondering if anyone was still keen?

Or of course the restored Temperate House at Kew is reopening in May, after being closed for 5 years...

    I’d certainly be up for either Chelsea or Kew this year LG  :D:DB)

    Excellent - I had a feeling you would, @chicky :-)

    I'd be up for a Chelsea/Kew visit too, if we can organise it well in advance like we did for Kew last year, so I can get cheap travel from Oop North.   ;)

    I really enjoyed last year's Kew visit!

    I'd be up for Chelsea and / or the Garden Museum - depending when you decided to go.

    Hubby retired at the end of last year and we have that many trips away booked / half booked / under discussion that I can't begin to suggest when I know I could join you. Would be good if I could turn this into a little trip based around my interests though :D

    :) Liri, I was hoping you'd say that, but wasn't sure you'd want to do the journey again.

    Any thoughts on when?

    Ooh hello Topbird, we overlapped. I remember that you, @WonkyWomble and @Dovefromabove were all hoping to come last year but couldn't. It would be great if you could make it this time  :)

    That might be useful if you feel inclined, LG - unless Dove or someone has been and can report back...  :)

    I've never been to the Physic garden either - which is why I'd be interested in joining you this year. Would also be lovely to meet people I've been 'chatting' to for years :)

    I'm really not going to suggest any dates as our calendar is a right mess at the moment - but if I can join you - I will :)
