A Photo presentation gave everyone a taste of the gardens they were going to see or sealed the memories of just visited gardens and allotments.

Please submit entry forms for Cornholme Open Garden Day

Posted on April 10, 2013 by admin

A message from Anna, a co-organiser of Cornholme Open Garden Day:

“ Hi there … did anyone spot the article in the Tod news  asking for entries for Cornholme open garden day? We were disappointed that it was so small and they didn’t print a photo  .. but they have promised to do it again nearer the time. Looks like we’ll have to make this happen ourselves!!

So this is  a reminder to say  spring is just around the corner  and can you hand your  entries in at Cornholme post office for the open garden day asap.. We’ve had a few  entries but need more to make the garden trail really interesting so please talk to neighbours and friends  and get them to enter too. Although it’s hard to imagine  it in this weather  spring will be here before we know it  and our gardens will start blooming ,so lets encourage it on its way …..”
