Coach Trip 2020

Pashley Manor Gardens and King John's Nursery

Postponed to 2021...

A late summer coach trip this year to revel in the splendour of the dahlia displays and late summer bedding at Pashley Manor Gardens in Ticehurst, East Sussex plus a visit to King John's Nursery and Gardens situated almost next door.

Because of the ongoing guidelines for social distancing, it will be impossible to have a coach trip this year. This will now take place in September of 2021 - more details to follow


We will try to have a local 'outing' where members can use their own transport.


Cost is likely to be about £30 per person with the coach leaving Worplesdon about 9am, returning about 6pm, but more details will follow. Friends of Club members welcome.

From the Pashley Manor web site...

"At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These award winning gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.

All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme."
