DEDICATED GARDEN TOUR QUEENS... WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY IT WAS... OUTSTANDING SUCCESS AND WELL WORTH ALL THE HARD WORK. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR NOT LETTING THE RAIN PUT YOU OFF VISITING.I WILL UPLOAD LOTS OF PICS TAKEN ON THE DAY.... ENJOY.

UNIQUE DOORSTOP... ANITA IS SOOOO CLEVER AND MADE THIS FOR THE BARN, EVEN MOSAICING THE UNDERNEATH. SIMPLY GORGEOUS.

I,ve just been out taking some pics but maybe it was a little dark. However, if you look close you can see the chandelier hanging in the hedge arch.It looks amazing but I will get a better shot tomorrow.Only one week till the garden tour, so the pace has stepped up. It is looking good but I,ve just covered some plants with frostcloth as it isn,t worth the risk as a few plants got frosted earlier in the week.

In the past week we have had 2 groups here, 1 for lunch and the other for afternoon tea. They also had a tour of the boarding cattery, shopped at The Barn and strolled through the garden. They all had a very enjoyable time and many thanks from us. We have got bookings coming through and it is a dream come true with me as I had always wanted my garden to be open to the public and VOILA!!!!! This is photos of the lunch group. There was 42 but they were seated all over the garden and a headcount was a necessity before the bus left.

We are just having a crash course on the workings of the new coffee machine that is going in The Barn. It is so exciting as so many customers have said how the perfect touch to their Barn visit is a coffee, tea and cake so we have obliged.The food will change each week.
The garden is looking really great and only 2 weeks till the garden tour. We are also really busy restocking for that day so we look forward to seeing you there.
