Wonderful Day out, Gardens accessibility fantastic for a Mobility Scooter user. We took our own, but Scooters were available to pre book. Enjoyed the day so much joined the RHS on the spot to go back again +++
mum and i often go out for brunch once a week, today we decided to go to hyde hall for a change as being members doesn't cost us anything, so we had a look at the bit to the left og the building towards the buggy area first, then went and had brunch in the clover cafe which was nice then we had a look at the rest of the gardens seeing all the daffodils, snowdrops and hellebores
Not as big as I thought it was going to be, and not many flowers in bloom. We went during a heatwave and pleased we arrived when it opened at 10.00.
Had a fabulous time at the flower shoe with a friend, unfortunately the weather wasnt brilliant but manage to get around the grounds and stalls ,food stalls also lovely the crepe stall in particular 😀
