RGS participates in National Garden Scheme open day

The 100 plus visitors to our National Garden Scheme open day were delighted with their allotment walk, commented on the many beautiful things that there were to see – in particular two lovely clematis covered arches, and the tea space by the potting shed!

Many of them stopped and asked questions on the plots – some shared this year’s gardening challenges.

Most enjoyed the magnificent array of cakes and tea, with outside service provided by our younger helpers – thanks to you all!

Many bought plants from the plant stall.

The event was very well organised by the committee, and our sincere thanks to them and to the many who came to help and participated . A huge effort, but very much rewarded - more than £1,000 was raised for the National Garden Scheme charities.
