    Thanks for thinking of me 😊  ... however I’ve got a lot of driving etc planned for one thing and another this year so I’ll give this one a miss. 

    Thought I’d mention that  @WonkyWomble and I are planning a trip to Beth Chatto’s garden soon, and Bressingam Gardens are free to RHS members in May so I’m planning a trip there as well, so if anyone fancies meeting up we can start a thread for that.

    I'd love to go but it's too far to do as a day trip and have a reasonable amount of time there (drive + 3 or 4 trains + taxi, then the same back again). 

    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Thanks for flagging me into this, I will have a chat to my OH as she is about to retire we  can look at the dates & see, we do go from time to time but not as often as we would like.

    @chicky @LG_ I've just Doodle Polled.  Finally!  Sorry it's taken so long...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Sorry sorry sorry - I'd totally missed the notifications for this. I got a Doodle notification which alerted me. 

    I would love to go to Beth Chatto's garden, Dove. Keep us posted on the dates, though I think it's unlikely I could get there.

    Right - Wisley date decided, based on the Doodle poll: the weekend of 20/21 July is when everyone who has responded can go. The Saturday is probably safest, as public transport (specifically trains) is often messed up on Sunday with engineering works. But I'm open to either. What does everyone else think?
