| Second Court of Christ's College, Cambridge |
Having found gardening inspiration close by with the visit to Waterperry Gardens last week, see blog entry 4th July 'Welcome To Waterperry', the team looked further afield for inspiration, their destination, Cambridge. Departing at 6:45am, and after a two and a half hour car journey, they arrived in the centre of Cambridge for their first tour around the gardens of Christ's College. Greeted by two of Christ's gardening team, Head Gardener, Sergio and gardener, Teina, they were given a guided tour of the college gardens seeing the First and Second Court, Third Court, Fellow's Garden, the Darwin Garden and the nursery/greenhouse area.

From Christ's College, and after a spot of lunch, they walked to Clare College for the second tour of the day. Met by Head Gardener, Steve, the team were taken around the gardens seeing the Old Court, Scholar's Garden, across the Clare Bridge to the Fellow's Garden, Formal Sunken Garden and on to the nursery/greenhouse area. Both gardens were full of inspirational planting and the team have come away with ideas for plants and planting combinations that may, perhaps, be seen in the gardens at Worcester one day. Thank you to the gardeners of both colleges for sparing some of your valuable time to show the team around, it really is appreciated.
