Dear Blogger
Message from Allison at Shropshire National Gardens Scheme.
There are more beautiful May gardens to enjoy this coming weekend and a reminder of two new gardens to the Scheme opening mid-week.
Thanks to everyone who supported our six open gardens last weekend - and the rain held off for most of you. I'd be most grateful if you could share this email with your friends and families.
With thanks and best wishes, Allison
