Jan Robertson organises a series of outing to various gardens.
This visit in September was on a day where rain was forecast but it did not!
These pictures record the event. Thanks to Stephen and Joan Bazlinton who plyed us with
nice tea & lots of homemade cakes.
St Helens is open on Saturday, 5th September, 11am to 5pm in aid if the National Garden Scheme.

Who can resist the draw of a swing?
Thank you Stephen & Joan for opening your lovely damp garden to us at such a
dry time - you are very fortunate to have 3 Springs feeding your garden.
Thank you Jan & the Gardening Committee for arranging such a
pleasent afternoon. The weather was kind to us as well.
