A perfect sunny day in May with the scent of Wisteria drifing on a gentle breeze, 270 visitors poured into the garden! Helpers were overrun with queues for teas meanwhile, I was only just keeping up with arriving visitors queueing at the gate.
We thoroughly enjoyed the musical delights of Barrels and Bells Clarinet Choir. The highlight of the day was a young autistic boy who delighted everyone by giving an impromptu performance on our yachting piano in the conservtory. It transpired he'd played for the King and at Highrove!!
Meanwhile, across the lane in Sandra's garden, she and Pat were also busy. Plants were flying off the tables raising £1200.00 for Wichenford Church.
As the event was coming to a close, storm clouds gathered and a thunderstom passed over. It provided a dramatic end to the day and when everyone had gone home the sun came out, the birds sang and the now refreshed garden returned to its usual quiet and tranquil state! A prefect end to a successful day.
The clearing up could wait!!
A very BIG thank you to ALL helpers and supporters!!!
