EEVILMURRAY Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Botanical Gardens Sheffield Botanical Gardens cover 19 acres and were first opened in 1836. Originally designed by Robert Marnock in the Gardenesque style, the site now has fifteen different garden areas featuring collections of plants from all over the world, including Mediterranean, Asian, American prairie-style, woodland and rock-and-water plantings. The National Collections of Weigela and Diervilla are sited here. The Gardens contain several listed buildings including the restored Grade II* listed curvilinear Glass Pavilions, some of the earliest ever built, which were officially re-opened by HRH The Prince of Wales on 1 September 2003 Why the fuck? Apart from the arnie thing to dan? Well I asked for his number, didn't text/ring him to provide him with mine, to inform later via some surprising manner. I did so recently. I first sent a text along the lines of "Hi this is Jenny, we met on Friday. I was wondering if you fancied meeting for dinner this weekend?" As he was writing a "Sorry wrong number" text, he got the big surprise text, "But I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your GOD DAMN SPINE!"

Providing the weather is good a botanical garden would be nice to relax and stuff like that for a while, before (or after) hitting the pub. The last one took place in Hyde Park to be fair. And we all know Dan would say "yeah meet you at 8 at [such a such place]" and hope for a hottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 haha ^_^, the botanical gardens is a nice enough place to hang out. If the weathers rubbish then we can find somewhere else . Although the last meet was in the summer rather than the autumn, so if it's cold bring a jacket, fools! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 yeah, it's got flowers and shit but also has large green areas, and people don't use it as a thoroughfare, so it's chilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Would've loved to come down to Sheffield for this but I don't have anywhere to stay so I'll have to give it a miss. Maybe at the next one I'll give y'all the grace of my presence. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I will be driving over - where can I leave my car? Is there free parking nearby, or does anyone have a solution? I'll be driving over from Macclesfield in the morning - if anyone from the nearby area needs a lift over I can swing by their area and pick them up. Petrol contributions welcomed.

nightwolf Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Parking in sheffield is expensive as far as I'm aware, the npc carparks charge at least £10 a day. I'm sure there's somewhere, but if not then it's chipping into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can park down our road, there's usually a few spaces early/midday and unlike most of the student areas, it's not permit parking. I won't be there early in the morning but j7 should be about.
