A very Happy Easter to all the supporters of the National Garden Scheme in Shropshire. Our garden open season starts in earnest next Saturday (27th April) with the first opening of the lovely spring garden at The Mount in Bishops Castle, see below for details, one of 19 new gardens opening in Shropshire this year for the charity. As well as the long term charities that we support, we're delighted to announce that our guest charity for the next 3 years will be MIND, the mental health charity.
So thank you for your continued support of the National Garden Scheme in Shropshire and I look forward to meeting you in a garden this year!
Best wishes, Allison
