Sir John Whittingdale, MP for Maldon, visited the RHS Garden at Hyde Hall in Rettendon during the annual Flower Show.
Sir John was shown around by Head of Site, Ian Le Gros (pictured below). The garden at Hyde Hall has expanded so that it now covers 365 acres and the annual Flower Show is hugely important.
Sir John discussed with Ian the new arrangements for vehicle access during the show which should relieve congestion on the approach road and as well as ways in which the Garden can support local voluntary groups in the community.
