APPROXIMATE TIMINGS
Leave our local area at 09:15.
Depart University of Bristol Botanic Garden at 16:30.
COST
The cost of the trip is £37. This includes travel by coach and entry to Jekka's.
Instead of charging an entrance fee, the Botanic Garden is inviting donations, as explained below.
Our visit to Jekka's consists of a talk by Jekka McVicar and a one-hour guided tour of the "Herbetum" and garden. After the tour we will be offered light refreshments of homemade cakes, herbal teas and coffee.
At the University of Bristol Botanic Garden this summer every weekday is a DAISY DAY (Donate As It Suits You). Their website states 'we're grateful for an optional donation towards maintaining the garden for education, conservation, research and leisure!' Donations can be made on the website.
Refreshments can be purchased at the cafe in Bristol Botanic Garden, but you may prefer to take a packed lunch.
The coach has 34 seats. This trip is open to members only, but once we know the total number of members on the trip, we can offer the remaining spaces to guests.
