The aim is to have a site tour for part of the day and a field visit to look at ferns in the undeveloped parts of the garden for the rest of the time. For further information (see https://www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/bridgewater) Leaders Mike Canaway, (BPS) and James Hall (RHS). Off-path areas may be muddy according to weather conditions so bring suitable footwear and waterproofs as per a normal field visit. The Welcome Building and cafe open at 10.00 so members will be able to use toilet facilities and get refreshments. There is an area to the left of the main Welcome Building entrance where people can congregate away from the main doors. The RHS will require final numbers so please advise me if you intend to come. There will not be a charge unless we exceed our allocated allowance as an affiliated society to the RHS in which case it would be £8. The event is to be held jointly with the BPS Northwest Group.
