Outings
Streamside Outings in 2025
We have organised three great “garden themed” days out which members of Streamside are invited to attend. All trips will depart from the Streamside Store in the morning by coach, returning in the evening. Bookings must be made in person at the trading store and are available on a first come, first served basis. Available to Streamside members only.
This year’s outings and dates for your diary are:
Myddelton House Enfield & Kathy Brown’s private garden Stevington Beds.
Thursday 22nd May departing 9am
£42
We will spend 2 hours at Myddelton House Gardens which was once home to Edward Augustus Bowles, one of Britain’s most famous self-taught gardeners, artists and expert botanists. Nestled in the heart of Enfield, the eight-acre grounds play host to a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers as well as an extensive heritage kitchen garden and cut flower beds.
We will then move onto Kathy Brown’s garden in Bedfordshire. The garden is 4.5 acres of horticultural delight with many beautiful areas to enjoy. Included is a TOUR OF THE GARDEN lasting about 45-60 minutes, showing you the highlights, explaining the background to the ideas etc.
Also included refreshments on the lawn (or inside if weather is inclement). With a choice of tea, coffee or apple juice plus Kathy's homemade cakes. (including gluten free)
Please note this is restricted to a maximum of 40 people, once full, a waiting list will be established.

Sissinghurst is famous as the epitome of the English garden with its series of garden rooms, each filled with different planting schemes and unique designs, including the famous white garden, which should be at its glorious best at this time of year. The garden is a result of the creative tension between Harold Nicolson's formal design and the exuberant planting of Vita Sackville-West.
