Dear Blogger
Message from Allison Walter, National Gardens Scheme publicity.
Gardens open by arrangement might be useful for local clubs and societies - see the link at the bottom of this email.
 | | Gardens open for everyone The weather was challenging for our snowdrop gardens this year but a big thank you to those who supported us. Our open gardens programme gets underway in earnest in April but in the meantime, why not arrange to visit a garden in Shropshire for a private visit: this can be for couples, small groups of friends and family, interest groups - just contact the garden owner and agree a mutually convenient date for your visit - it's that easy. So you can enjoy a Shropshire garden and raise money for our charities at the same time. Just click on the link below for a full list of all the gardens open in Shropshire for groups this year. |  | Also below are details of our first Ticket-only event in Shropshire: Oakly Park on Sunday 6th September. Tickets have to be purchased in advance for this opening from the National Garden Scheme website - see details below
Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Allison Allison Walter, County Organiser, Shropshire National Garden Scheme
