Oak Open Day : Kew Gardens, 19 July 2010
There will be an Oak Open Day on July 19th .2010 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, near London, England.
This is an event not to be missed! We could not be in better hands, as Tony Kirkham, Head of the Arboretum, has generously offered to welcome us and to be our guide for the day. The major part of the day will be spent in the Arboretum looking at oaks, but coffee will be provided on arrival and departure, and we will lunch at one of the restaurants in the gardens.
Tony will provide a list of the oak holdings at Kew, and also for Wakehurst Place, Kew’s country annexe.
We will pay Kew’s entrance fee on arrival, and a charge of £2 for coffee during the day. We will also pay for our own lunches – we hope to have tables reserved so we can sit together.
The planned meeting point and time is at the Main Gate at 0945.
Please contact me, Shaun Haddock, at shaun.haddock@orange.fr to register your interest in the day if you have not already done so. I will then be able to contact you with any further information if necessary.
