On Sunday 15 July eleven gardens in Needham were opened to visitors. It didn’t rain, occasionally the sun shone and people came in numbers - in fact 152 entry fees were paid. There was a variety of gardens from the intimacy of a courtyard garden to cottage gardens and gardens with large open spaces with lawns and woodland areas. Ploughman’s lunches and cream teas were served. Pimms was on offer too. The event raised the fantastic sum of £1082.35 for the upkeep of St Peter’s Church. The latest work to be done will be a wooden ramp to facilitate access.
A BIG thank you to all the participating gardeners, the Cunliffes and especially to Pauline Spinlove who masterminded the day on behalf of the Friends.
The centre spread in the Link shows aspects of each open garden.
