The Great Garden Adventure at RHS gardens

In my RHS Newsletter I found this, which could be just what you need if you are looking for interesting days out during the school holidays:
Kids go free
Treat the whole family to a glorious day out at an RHS Garden this August. Up to two children 16 and under are FREE with each accompanying adult. Normal garden admission applies for adults.

See the RHS Garden Adventure page for more information.
