Gardens open this week for the NGS

Dear Blogger

Reminder that Brownhill House Garden is open by arrangement until July - just phone or email to arrange a visit. The Laburnum Arch is looking wonderful now but I fear it will be going over at our opening at the end of May so please come and see us soon.

A host of wonderful gardens are opening for the National Gardens Scheme this week - and we are all supporting many great charities.
