Report on visit to Hillier Winter Garden on 13 Febraury 2025

We had a very enjoyable and informative visit to this well known gardens. Our group were led by James and also joined by Hilliers' employee Barry who was very knowledgeable and an ex classical ballet dancer. Our tour included the Himalayan Gardens and we saw lots of interesting trees and shrubs that were ‘doing their thing’ at this time of year.

Following our tour, we retired to the Cafe for some very welcome refreshments and enjoyed each other’s company.

Some mentioned visiting Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens – this has now been arranged for April 7th – details on the link below.

A big thank you to James (and Barry) for leading us around.
