Dear Blogger
Message from the National Gardens Scheme
April showers bring May flowers ... as the old saying goes. Admire some beautiful May flowers in a National Garden Scheme garden in Shropshire in the coming week and help support those in need. Thank you to those who visited Brownhill House last week and enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon tea on the terrace overlooking this garden that defies gravity! There is a new NGS garden to explore this coming week: the lovely Kinton Grove.
Don't forget there are many Shropshire gardens open By Arrangement for the National Garden Scheme: just click on the link below for more information.
Thanks for your continued support - please forward this email to your family & friends to help us spread the word!
Best wishes, Allison
