Hoping for Sunday sunshine! After a tricky week, weather-wise, for many of us, we're hoping that the sun will shine on Sunday (23rd August) when the lovely EDGE VILLA, Edge, nr Yockleton (6 miles from Shrewsbury) will be open to National Garden Scheme visitors. This ever-popular garden is a riot of colour in late summer with deep, well-planted borders, late roses, huge kitchen garden full of produce and a delightfully planted pond,  sweeping lawns and interesting trees add to the picture.  All the family are welcome to this lovely garden.  Plant sale in aid of National Garden Scheme charities.
