1st June Bere Ferres Hidden Village Gardens

The 8 Hidden Gardens were opened to raise funds for St Lukes, consequently the event attracted many visitors.

The gardens themselves varied in size and design, many having wonderful views, but all gave us an appreciation of the hard work and enthusiasm of the owners and indeed some ideas to try in our own gardens.

As usual, refreshments were enjoyed at the Village Hall where we were able to take a rest and have a chat.

15th May Antony House

It was a lovely sunny day when we visited NT Antony House gardens where Spring flowers were in abundance. We enjoyed morning coffee, lunch and a stroll around the gardens. Some also visited the House which is very interesting. A great day out!
