The Confidence Boosting Breakfast: Dream Garden

Our first meet-up event will be held in the spectacular grounds of the London home of the Duke of Northumberland. Built in the sixteenth century on the site of the Medieval Syon Abbey, Syon House, so rich in history, came to the family of the present owners in 1594. Whilst Syon House is not open on Saturdays, the Gardens & Great Conservatory are open between 10:30 and 17:00 and tickets cost £8 to enter.

We will enjoy a relaxed and creative Confidence Boosting Breakfast in the Garden Kitchen of the Garden Centre located in Syon Park. We’ll have an opportunity to really be ourselves and be creative at the same time! Participants will spend 45 minutes finding inspiration from within the garden centre to design their dream garden followed by 30 minutes of telling everyone in the group about it. It'll be a super fun morning packed full of confidence boosting tips inspired by... gardens!

Please note: The Garden & Great Conservatory of the Duke is not part of our meetup.
