Successful Open Weekend

Posted on by talesfromacountrygarden

IMG_3468_watermarkedWhat a wonderful weekend!    The sun shone and it was warm on Saturday with just a little rain late on Sunday – perfect for visiting and enjoying gardens.

We had record numbers of visitors to our garden, counting around 325 visitors.   The final total for the group as a whole is not yet known but I think records will have been broken, and importantly money raised for the NGS Charities.

Just a few pictures from the weekend, as we now relax and enjoy the garden ourselves.
