Open Gardens 2015
After a gap of three years the Club again organised a successful Open Gardens event in Cumnor, with the proceeds going to a local charity.
Some 15 garden owners expressed their willingness to open their gardens for charity on the afternoons of the weekend Saturday-Sunday 13-14 June. The idea was to show what can be done with even quite a small garden, and to give visitors ideas which they can use when they get back home. The open gardens were very varied in both size and nature, and we believe that this objective was fully met.
The weather was not as kind to us as on previous occasions, but was better on the Sunday, when many gardens received about three times as many visitors as on the previous day. Overall attendance was good, and the Gardening Club was able to pass £1500 to TRAX, the local charity helping young people which is based at the Pear Tree roundabout. We were most grateful to all those who gave time and effort to achieve this excellent result.
Below are some photographs of this event, mainly taken by Christopher Impey.
