Open Day

We were super lucky with the weather on Sunday and had a lovely sunny afternoon sharing cake and talking to our visitors. Numbers were pretty good considering we were competing with numerous school fetes and the Salami Festival up the road! Thanks also to Nick for providing music for us to eat our cake to!
There were a few of us involved in setting up in the morning but credit must go to Ros and Marijka who did a great job both setting up and cleaning up at the end of the day, and Ros was official photographer too.
Marijka's display of photographs from the very beginnings of the gardens 20 years ago to the present provided a great topic of conversation, as did our plans for the future in the new extension.
There was much discussion about what we'll do at the next Open Day- bigger and better- at a time yet to be decided, but it was a very pleasant and successful first effort, and opening of our new extension.
