    I've just done been doing the sums and the charity will now get well over £1,100 from our Open Day. :yho: :yho: :yho:

    There should be another small amount later in the year after we tot up what plants and veg we sell during the summer. This extra won't be a lot but every little bit helps :D

    Hi shiney. Just caught up with this thread. Just wanted to say well done, it takes a LOT of hard work in all aspects to put on an event like that, must be quite stressful at times. Like someone already said, thank goodness for folks like you that are prepared to put themselves out. BTW, your garden is a stunner ! A pity I live so far away, I'd have been there for sure :thumb:
    Cheers...freddy.
