Coach trip to Lincolnshire - Doddington Hall gardens including walled garden and the walled garden Normanby Hall. Anyone wanting to come can come as my guest, price is £39, including morning coffee, lunch (ham or cheese ploughmans's) and tours of both gardens
Sunday Sept 5th 2010
Coach departs Glebe road Oadby 8.15am. I have space for 2 in my car to get to Oadby.
The main attraction of our Autumn coach trip this year is to see two walled gardens in Lincolnshire.
Doddington Hall, a great house built in 1595 and still owned by the same family, has 5 acres of beautiful gardens with parterres, mixed borders and a wild garden. Although we have a tour of the whole garden our main interest today is the newly restored walled kitchen garden which contains a very wide variety of produce including many rare and heritage varieties. They use organic techniques, biological control methods and rotate crops for maximum production and pest control.
There will not be time to visit the house but, hopefully there will be time to visit the splendid farm shop where produce from the garden is sold.
