December 2012 - Visit to the plot, the Garden Museum, and the National History Museum trip

Visit to the Garden Museum, 6 December 2012

We headed up to the Garden Museum which is at Lambeth Palace, to take a look around the museum and the gardens, which were being sorted out ready for spring.
We found that there was an excellent exhibition on about the history of gardens and allotments in England, and we chose our favourite paintings, as you will see below.

Visit to the Natural History Museum, 20 December 2012

We decided to stay in the warm and venture to South Kensington for a visit to the Natural History Museum. Not all of the members had visited before, and even for the people who had, it was a chance to explore some more...
