What a terrific weekend ! We had beautiful sunny weather for our Get growing trail open weekend. Thankyou for everyone who came along. We made approx £500 in total, thankyou for everyone who was so generous, this money will go towards getting our propagation greenhouse glassed to grow more great plants !
This weekend we had lots of fun with organic plant sales, cake sale, barbeque, magic gardens, craft fairies, animal stone painting, scarecrow hospital, willow weaving and more!
