Waterperry Gardens Club

 Welcome to Waterperry Gardens Club!

Introduction

Waterperry Gardens Club is a voluntary organisation. We bring season ticket holders and Waterperry village card holders together to enjoy social and horticultural events such as coffee morning talks, volunteering and tours of Waterperry Gardens led by an expert in their field.  Coffee mornings include coffee, shortbread and a good catch up, a talk and then usually a tour in the gardens.  We are very fortunate that Rob Jacobs, Horticultural Manager is normally able to clear his diary for our coffee morning talks and tours. Rob is adept at making us feel 'part of the team', and he also gives handy seasonal tips for gardening at home.  Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, there will something special for you!We aim to support projects within Waterperry Gardens; this year we will focus on planting, in woodland, in the arboretum and in other sites within the gardens. We also aim to promote horticultural education at Waterperry, e.g. for apprentices and training, and to contribute to the Mary Spiller Educational Bursary.If you have taken the step of buying an annual Waterperry ticket, why not join us for coffee mornings and other events? There is no membership fee. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Waterperry Gardens Club.

July Coffee morning

Tuesday, July 2nd

To celebrate our beautiful countryside, Rob showed some of the lovely wildflowers that are around the gardens and in the hedgerows at this time of the year.  Subtle colours, wonderful shapes and perfumes all blending to create a mosaic of flowers for pollinating insects.  Rob then took us round the gardens and by the river to see latest developments and especially the new shrub and tree area by the stone bridge.
