Open Day - Saturday June 30th, 2007
Noon - 5pm
The collection continues to grow and the polytunnel is now so full of plants that it is bursting at the seams. There's never enough room! There are thousands of plants including Sarracenia, Dionaea, Drosera, Cephalotus etc to see. I need you all to help me make some room, so there will be a wide variety of plants available to purchase!
The collection is housed in a large polytunnel located at:
Hillside Nursery
Basingstoke Road
ALTON
Hampshire
GU34 4BH
(Since last year, the car park has been given a tarmac finish and there is now a large on-site cafeteria. Wayhay! ;D)
Alton is easily reached from the A3, M3 and M4. The nursery is located approximately one mile outside of Alton itself on the A339 Basingstoke road. I think the OS map online gives the best idea of the precise position. It can't be direct linked, so you will need to enter the Post Code to call up the map sheet.

If you end up driving in circles in the town centre one-way system, turn right at Boots and follow the road! It takes you direct to Hillside.
The nursery entrance is situated on the apex of a near blind bend on a fast (60mph) road. Please exercise care both entering and exiting the site. There is plenty of parking space available.
Alton is one hour and twenty minutes from London Waterloo. I should be able to arrange lifts to and from the station, or local taxis are available.
Should you wish to stay in the area overnight, there are a variety of hotels and B&Bs nearby.
Open to all, this is an opportunity for forum members as well as CPS and ICPS membership to meet in the flesh. I look forward to seeing you on the day, old faces and new. Visitors from outside the UK will be particularly welcome should you be able to attend.
See you there!
