On Monday 29 June, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens in Devon will once again kindly host our annual West Country Gathering.

Champagne will be served on the terrace which looks down over the gardens and fountain, a light buffet lunch will then be served in the Orangery, followed by a leisurely trip on the Bicton Park railway. The train is an 18-inch gauge railway which wound its way through the Pinetum, home to many of Bicton’s champion trees. It then take us back along the banks of the Great Lake to complete its journey.

Special thanks must go to Fred Lister (OR 1946) and his daughter-in-law Valerie (owner of Bicton Park) for their hospitality.
