Sheelagh Hill organised a joint coach trip with Reading Gardeners to the Royal Horticultural Society’s Wisley Gardens in Surrey on Thursday 14th November. Three different ‘Behind the Scenes’ tours had been organised – to the Propagation Unit, the Herbarium and the Library. The latter tour had an additional natural history element, when members were asked if they could identify the skeleton found in the bottom of a vase – some sort of mouse. For the rest of the visit, members were free to explore the gardens and enjoy the autumn colours.
