    Our Open Garden Day produces most of the money and it couldn't be done without all the volunteers to help. :blue thumb:

    A lot of GC members come along on the day as it's a good place to meet each other and chat and swap plants. Some of them come from hundreds of miles away. We get around 400 people coming over the weekend and sell about £1,000 of plants that Mrs Shiney propagates. There's also fabulous tea and cakes and entertainment - all volunteers.

      Be sure to let me (us)know when the next one is, I would love to come and contribute and maybe get a seedling or twenty..... and if you want someone to help serve the tea and cakes, I am that man :smile: (promise not to eat them all).
