Our Gardening Club is going to Squerrys Court in Westerham in September.
The members want to visit another place on the same day (they usually do
two visits per coach trip) Can anyone suggest a good plant nursery or
garden to visit near Westerham or even on the way back to Amersham? They
did Donwnderry nursery in 2008 so probably wouldn't go there.
I know Chartwell is very close but we thought that might be too 'big'
(IYSWIM) Looking at the 2010 NGS book but can't see anything there for
that time of year for groups.

I'd like to have added on Perryhills as it's a fabulous nursery but only
has VERY limited toilet facilities and with 50 people or more that could
be a problem

Chartwell is not that big, from memory, but may be very busy being NT and
very popular with tourists.

Titsey Place is good, nice house, garden and walled garden, not NT so you
could arrange a private group visit outside normal opening times and they
would probably do you all a Cream Tea too in their new cafe.

Just remembered, Hever Castle is also not that far away, beautiful grounds.
