Bere Mill and Hardy’s nursery
Thursday 28 May 2026
MPG members Rupert and Elizabeth Nabarro have created the gardens at Bere Mill near Whitchurch, Hampshire with Mediterranean and herbaceous borders, irises, tree peonies and magnolias and small arboretums. Rupert will show us round. A light lunch will be provided at a pub, then we’ll go on to Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants, a leading nursery for plantsmen, all within five minutes’ drive of Bere Mill.

Summer garden tour: southern Gloucestershire
Sunday 28 June – Thursday 2 July 2026
The county of Gloucestershire is rich in interesting private gardens, and also home to many professional plantsmen. On this tour we concentrate on the southern part of the county, much of which lies within the southern Cotswolds. We will be based south-east of Cirencester at the De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel, overlooking the wildlife lakes.
