The Plant and Produce Stall at the recent Open Gardens was very successful and we would like to thank all those people who donated items. There are still some plants available and these are listed below (most with pictures). Autumn is a great time to think about adding to your borders. If you would like to buy some plants you are welcome to come round and have a look or give us a ring on 01985 218622 or contact us by email:
