Organisers of the village’s biennial Open Gardens are putting out an urgent appeal for potential garden hosts to step forward right now to avoid the 2024 event being cancelled.
The event is scheduled for Sunday 16 June and they need to know at the latest by 16 December if any local gardener is thinking of taking part, as preparations have to begin immediately after Christmas to get all the arrangements in place.
Committee member Denise Walker said: “Open Gardens is a hugely popular event in the village, but we need more residents with gardens to sign up now to take part. As any visitor to previous events will tell you, it doesn’t matter how big or small your garden is, visitors love to see a wide range of garden sizes and styles, to get inspiration for their own gardens.
“If your garden is simply a work in progress, then that doesn’t matter either. It certainly doesn’t need to be immaculate.”
Anyone potentially interested in taking part in the event should contact info@opengardens.org by 16 December.
