Traditional tea and cakes are sold at the village hall, and the proceeds often go towards the upkeep of the local church. It is a great opportunity to chat to people, buy cheap plants and get lots of garden inspiration!Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-35650270839209493062014-07-04T19:34:57.284-07:002014-07-04T19:34:57.284-07:00I think your garden is glorious!

There is of course a lot more weeding and trimming than usual. It is useful to have such pressure otherwise we would never see our gardens at their best! In our old garden we twice had TV crews - the pressure was even worse.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-20940614093185942242014-06-28T12:11:49.294-07:002014-06-28T12:11:49.294-07:00I'm not surprised your garden was accepted, it...I'm not surprised your garden was accepted, it is beautiful, but I know the feeling of dashing round before someone comes! We opened for 5 years for the NGS, unfortunately then I got something wrong with my muscles and couldn't keep up the standard of weeding that they need, so regretfully told them that I wouldn't be opening any more. Apart from the hard work, it was very satisfying, meeting lots of lovely people, and sharing tips on gardening. I wish you every success and wish I lived nearer so that I could be there to enjoy it.
