Friend opens his Jungle Garden

The ‘Jungle Garden’ of one of our members is open this summer by appointment under the National Garden Scheme. Many of us enjoyed the Zoom talk that Simon Olpin gave us last year (still available to view in the Friends Area of the website) about the development of his exotic plot. Now you can tour the garden in person with Simon as your knowledgeable guide - and enjoy some tea and delicious home-made cake at the end of the tour.

A group of Friends visited today and marvelled at the display of rare trees and shrubs that Simon has collected over the years, many from South East Asia. For more information and to book a group visit see Simon’s entry on the NGS website.
