Record number of visitors at garden open weekend
The opening raised £3,430 for the health charities of the National Garden Scheme, but owners Jennie and Trevor Rollings believe the total may reach £4,500 which would be another record for the garden.
Jennie and Trevor said: “We wish to thank all our visitors and the numerous volunteers who baked cakes, helped on the gate and sold plants. There are still plenty of plants for sale outside the house and we are aiming to raise more money from our garden opening this year than ever before. It is all about breaking our own records.”
