SAGE supports the National Garden Scheme

 A number of small but perfectly formed groups of six met at Southdown House, the Old Brewhouse and Frithwood Cottage on Tuesday to enjoy a glass or two of prosecco and canapés in the balmy late summer evening, to chat in the beauty and drama of the gardens and to raise funds for the National Garden Scheme during their Garden Party week.

The total raised was £235 which was a tremendous result.    The NGS is such a brilliant idea and has been very creative during lockdown in designing  virtual experiences to keep interest in gardens alive and to sustain their well chosen charities.   

Many thanks to all who participated with particular appreciation to Glenys Rowe, Pam and Sarah Ffoulkes Roberts and Rhona Hoy as hosts and to Mike Beck for the photos.     

It is great that SAGE showed its support for such a worthwhile cause and it was much appreciated by the NGS marketing team

Unfortunately i was not sufficiently well organised to have photos of the event at Southdown House or Frithwood Cottage, but we will end on this great picture of Pam the morning after.  

Now that the school opening issues have largely been solved, my technical support has a little more time and this week I hope to post some pictures of a number of garden visits, including to Bourton House, Sarah Raven's Perch Hill and Malthouse Farm.  

Best wishes
