Loakesy Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sadly I'm working with no chance of leave. It's usually a good day though. If you get there at 10 you get into the gardens for free. Then meet at the same place again for the afternoon and get a chance to see the private greenhouses. Usually well attended... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0rmus Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm curious, whats happening at Kew Gardens? I've read a few of the 'Open Day' threads and found no mention of Kew Gardens in any of them but maybe i missed something? I would like to attend one of these Open Days, maybe even this summer if i can manage it but find some of information a bit vague. Am i missing something?

snowwy Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hello I sorry that Im probably writing off topic. So I will be going to London in two weeks and I will be visiting Kew. Am I able to access carnivorous plant nurseries? - as I have seen topics in this forum. Do I need some special permission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Salter Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi Calluna Yes you have to be a member of the CPS to be able to visit Kew gardens free of charge on Saturday 14th July. Its quick and easy to join if you would like to go. You get to access the restricted areas too. Regards Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to go but very recently got a new job which has put a spanner in the works. I'll make it to an open day eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Much reduced turn out today but excellent none the less. Sarracennia now moved out into the polytunnels and looking good and the Nepenthes were as splendid as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ahrens Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I was there with the Missus. We went in at 10 am, but at 1pm we were near the Pagoda and couldn't get back in time to see the greenhouse plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
