The branch enjoyed a wonderful day at Mount Congreve Gardens. We were blessed with a lovely sunny day. On arrival we had delicious scones, tea/coffee. The head gardener gave us a tour and history of the gardens. It was amazing. Some of the group headed back to the restaurant for lunch which was excellent.
The gardens are a great place to visit and the general consensus was that we should do another trip there.
Report from a Visit to the Butler Gallery - September 2023
Our group had a guided tour. The Gallery houses exhibitions of Tony and Jane O'Malley and continues to add to its collection.
The Wildflower Café has been extended and also has an outdoor seating area. The food is delicious.
We highly recommend a visit.
