Guided tours, lasting approximately an hour and a half, have been arranged for the DDG at theUniversity of Bristol Botanic Garden. This will be the opportunity to experience a unique display of plants to enchant us all; explore the glasshouses to find succulents, orchids and a Giant Amazon Waterlily; visit the unique Sacred Lotus collection; discover prehistoric plants that dinosaurs ate and learn about the collection of rare and threatened natives.

The cost of the tour will be £8.00 per person (includes £6.00 entrance fee), however, “Friends of the Garden” pay a reduced rate of £2/head for the tour.

Tours do take place in most weathers so please come suitably equipped. The Guides will make full use of the glasshouses if the weather is inclement.

There will be the opportunity to have tea/ coffee and cake at the cafe following the tour, served in the beautiful, period Devers Room or sitting on the West Terrace overlooking the pond.

For further information on and travel information to the Botanic Garden go to: www.botanic-garden.bristol.ac.uk

Attached is a form to complete for the numbers from your group with details of methods of payment. Please return this by Friday 31stMay.  (The Botanic Gardens need sufficient time to organise the number of volunteer guides required.)

Some events and ideas for Clifton WI members over this summer

By Clifton WI -
Clifton WI members like to get out and about in smaller groups for outings and visits.   We have some planned dates and ideas so do come along to our next meeting on April 26th or look out for your next newsletter in your inbox for further details. 🌸 👣 🎭 ♣🍲🚶🌉 In May a group are heading to Hanham Court Gardens, in July we have our annual meeting 'on the hoof' when we go for a walk ending in a local pub.  In addition, some will be going to find out a bit more of the shady history of life in Bedminster on a guided walk and we are also thinking of planning a visit to the hidden parts of Clifton Suspension Bridge.   This is in addition to monthly meetings and all our social groups getting together for theatre trips, meals or to review books and play a variety of games. Interested in joining Clifton WI? If you would like to join us, the first step could be to visit us at a monthly meeting.

We aim to walk around a route chosen by 2 of our members and return to the pub for a drink at the end.  It will not be the complete harbour walk  Should you not want to join us for the walk but would like to come along any way, please head to the pub for appx 8.15 - 8.30(ish) Visitors are welcome to join us but we do request a payment of £5.00 cash.  This can be a good way to meet some of us Clifton WI members without having to go to a meeting in the hall as your first step.
