"In 2005 I joined the Bobarts Group because I wanted to support the work of education, research and conservation at the Garden and Arboretum as much as I could. I have been able to do this whilst being rewarded with the many and varied visits that have been organised by the Bobarts team over the years. It is always special to explore a private garden with a small group of friendly people with a shared passion, to hear about it first hand from the owner or head gardener and then enjoy a lunch, tea or drink with the group who have now become friends."
