Coach trip to RHS Hyde Hall 2025
On 3rd July 2025, our group, together with members of the wider u3a, had our second trip to RHS Hyde Hall Gardens near Colchester.
Despite the recent hot weather and lack of rain the Gardens were still looking good. We made use of the cafés, shop and plant sales.
Once again everyone said how much they enjoyed the visit.

Copped Hall Visit - April 2025
On Friday 11th April we went to Copped Hall for a guided tour of the house and garden. Our guides were very knowledgeable and we learnt about the history of the house and gardens, which was very enlightening.
We had tea and cake, and some of us bought plants. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their time there. How successful it was and some were thinking of returning in the future.
Coach trip to RHS Hyde Hall 2024
On 5th September 2024, our group, together with members of the wider u3a, made a coach trip to RHS Hyde Hall Gardens near Colchester.
Fortunately, the Gardens were still in flower. We made use of the cafés, shop and plant sales, with a number of the group purchasing plants.
Everyone said how successful the visit was and how much they enjoyed it.
At our meeting held at Tesco, Brookfield in October, members brought in cuttings and seeds from their own garden to pass out to others attending. We also discussed possible opportunities for future visits and the renewal of our RHS membership.
As usual our meeting was lively. We talked about our gardens and how they were coming along after the changeable weather we have been experiencing. We also discussed ideas on what to plant in the gardens.
Our last meeting was lively with everyone contributing ideas. We have been accepted by the RHS and are looking forward to enjoying the benefits on offer. If you are interested in gardening, you are very welcome to join us.
