Tail-wagging Tuesdays - August

About this event
Hello humans! On the first Tuesday of every month, my well-behaved four-legged friends and I are invited to explore the beautiful Fullers Mill Garden together.
There’ll be plenty of exciting scents to sniff, winding paths to wander, and tails to wag - but remember, good dog manners essential:
we dogs must stay on our short, fixed leads at all times so we don’t accidentally “rearrange” the planting schemes.
if nature calls, our humans must clean up after us and take our ‘deposits’ home. Good dogs leave only pawprints behind!
we’re OK to say ‘hello’ to each other, but must not chase birds, animals or other visitors
extra tail-wagging encouraged
Bring your best walking paws and join us for a tail-wagging Tuesday adventure.
P.S. Paws crossed for biscuit breaks afterwards.
Standard admission fees apply to humans.
Future Dates: 7 July, 4 August, 1 September, 6 October
This is a pilot scheme to increase dog-friendly visits to the garden. During the trial, dog-walking visitors can bring up to two dogs per adult to explore Fullers Mill Garden.

About the Venue
Fullers Mill Garden is an enchanting and tranquil waterside and woodland garden, situated on the banks of the River Lark at West Stow in Suffolk.
It combines a beautiful site of light dappled woodland with a plantsman's collection of unusual shrubs, perennials, lilies and marginal plants, collected over the course of 50 years by the creator of the garden Bernard Tickner.
In 2013 the late Bernard Tickner, MBE gifted the garden to Perennial, the only UK charity dedicated to helping all those who work in or are retired from horticulture, in times of need. Head Gardener Annie Dellbridge and her team of gardeners and volunteers now maintain the garden for the enjoyment of visitors.
Tea, coffee and delicious homemade cakes are available to purchase and enjoy in the garden.
Plants propagated from the garden will be on sale in the garden.
