Dear Blogger
PLEASE make a point of visiting Amy Heath`s feast of roses at 1 Cross Villas, and Steve and Jill Owen who are opening their garden at Number 5 Church Street for the first time.
These gardens are in our village and deserve the support of the community. See two lovely gardens and enjoy the afternoon.
As we head into the heart of June there are two special gardens waiting for your visit during the coming week - supporting the National Garden Scheme and our beneficiaries. Plus, two new gardens to the NGS family and an old favourite, open this coming weekend.
I'd be most grateful if you could share this email with your friends and families: it's safe to forward on.
With thanks and best wishes, Allison
