Advance Notice - Spring Open Gardens Day – Monday, 5th May
We are hoping to hold another Open Gardens Day to support the building project. For a change this year we are going for a Spring theme rather than late Summer. Further details nearer the time, but please put the date in your diary. We do, however, need about eight gardens open during the day.
Does your garden look its best in the Spring?
Would you be prepared to open it up for the rest of us and the local community to enjoy for a couple of hours?
If so, please contact Steve or Ali Tompkins, Thank you.

Rick Wade is doing a cycle ride from Lands End to Shoebury in March to raise money for UNICEF's Child Immunisation Programme. It costs as little as 50p to immunise a child in the developing world against potentially fatal diseases, so every penny makes a difference.
