STOURPAINE OPEN GARDENS

The Stourpaine Gardening Club committee have decided to have another go at opening members gardens in aid of charity.

To give everyone plenty of notice, as it can be hard work getting your garden up to scratch, or you may have an area you want to re-develop. The plan is to hold the event over a weekend in June 2014, in conjunction with a Flower Festival in The Church.

All members living in the village will be approached to open their garden; members living outside the village will be approached to marshal and assist with refreshments.

Pete will be looking for volunteers to help him with the organisation as I, Jan, will be assisting Fran with the Flower Festival.
