We were blessed with prefect weather for the Hanley Swan NGS Group open weekend this year. This encouraged 244 visitors to came through the open garden gates during the weekend….
including a group from Gorsley Garden Club, on the following Monday, all helping to raise £2280 for the Charity.
Thanks must go to the other five garden owners, those who donated cakes and our band of volunteers who manned the entrance table, the car park, the plant stall and not least the catering team serving teas and cake, waiting at the tables and washing up.
The demand for refreshments peaked at around 3.00pm, with one couple returning on the Sunday for some more. (the entrance ticket covered both days.)
Enjoy your summer visiting gardens including your own!
What a wonderful way to raise money. Are the gardens private gardens?
So much beauty, I wish I could visit and the refreshments are served in such
beautiful setting. Of course it was popular.

What a joyful way to raise money for charity Brian. I spent yesterday helping a friend whose garden is open next weekend for Medicin sans Frontieres. We had such a fun day. 🌼
