Our only National Garden Scheme public opening will be Sunday, 24th May, between noon and 5pm. It is a lovely time of year to showcase the garden and follows a week of horticultural loveliness at the Chelsea Flower show so everyone's gardening juices should be bubbling over.May and June are the jewels in the crown of the horticultural year as far as I am concerned. Everything in the garden and the English countryside is so fresh, vibrant and green in its multitude of shades and hues. I love this time of year and yearn to be at home in the garden enjoying every thrilling moment. The garden moves so fast now and its shape and form changes from day to day. The garden I leave on the way to work in the morning is often different to the one I return to in the evening, so fast is the growth at this time of year. These are moments I miss with enormous regret and loss.
We have a number of private visits this Summer from gardening and horticultural groups with some coming from as far afield as Holland. But a public opening opens the garden to those who wish to visit alone or with friends and family. Over the years, Vanessa and I have met and shared the garden with many people and enjoyed each and every opening.
If you are free on the afternoon of Sunday, 24th May then come along. Entry is £3.50, children free and dogs are especially welcome in the garden.
