A group of ladies from the Garden Group visited Abbeywood Gardens, a 45 Acre Estate nestling in the Delamere countryside, home to the Rowlinson Family since 1987.
It has 6 Acres of informal and formal gardens, all different and distinctive. There is a 2km wildlife walk, incorporating 27 acres of mature and newly planted woodland, with a young 7-acre arboretum with rare deciduous and evergreen tree species.

The sun shone brightly for the Garden Group’s fund raiser for Wirral Hospice St John. ‘Care for a Cuppa’ was an enjoyable event with ‘lashings of tea and cake’!! A big thanks goes to the group’s committee for their hard work and baking skills in organising the afternoon.
