Dear Blogger
Brownhill House Garden is also open by arrangement until July, so if it pours next Tuesday, you still have a few days to arrange a visit.
| Phone & Go to a Garden! Highlighted below are some wonderful Shropshire National Garden Scheme gardens that only open By Arrangement for groups, families and friends for a private visit. Often there is no minimum number, just contact the owner, agree a date and go visit! What a great way to see private gardens that don't usually open to the public. For all gardens in Shropshire that open By Arrangement click on the link to the left.
Why not forward this to your friends and family, garden group, art group, U3A group, or make up a group and go and visit one of our gardens and raise funds for our beneficiaries at the same time.
With thanks for your support.
