Dear Blogger
Message from Allyson Walter, Shropshire NGS publicity - if you are not able to read this message, please go to www.ngs.org.uk
Shropshire gardens open in aid of nursing charities Thank you to all our wonderful supporters who visited our gardens during the last week, fundraising for our nursing charities is well underway again!
If you haven't visited a National Garden Scheme garden yet, you can be assured of a safe, friendly welcome. We work out in advance the safe, maximum number of visitors for the garden, allowing visitors plenty of time and space to visit so you can visit our gardens with confidence.
A typical comment from our visitors is "it's just so lovely to be out to share someone else's garden!" So many visitors have also taken the opportunity to meet up safely with family members and have a picnic in our gardens.
All you need to do to book a ticket to one of our gardens is to go to the National Garden Scheme website below, click on Book to Visit a Garden, then Midlands, and all the Shropshire gardens open in the coming week will be shown. Then click on the time you'd like to come and the number of tickets you'd like and pay for them on-line - it is very straightforward and easy.
If you have any problems buying tickets, please let me know.
www.ngs.org.uk THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Best wishes
Allison
