The good news is that Wollerton Old Hall's Gardens have been shortlisted for the Historic Houses Association's Garden of the Year award. The winner is decided by public vote, so if you love Wollerton as much as I do, please vote for them here: www.historichouses.org/goya2020.html Click here to view the Wollerton Old Hall website: |  | |  | If you are unable to visit a National Garden Scheme garden at the moment but would like to support our Support Our Nurses campaign, you can now donate via text - details above.
