MidSummer
Posted on 3 Jul, 2008 5 comments
All the fantastic photos coming in daily of everyone’s midsummer gardens. It’s lovley to see the changes & all the colour now.
I am getting ready for my parish “Open Gardens” event on the 20th July. Mine is one of 8 gardens opening to raise money for our parish Church (recently fell victim to the price of scrap metal increase) yes, the lead has been stolen from the roof.
So we are busy keeping on top of the garden, nurturing lots of plants for selling, also a tombola, lucky dip for the kids, prize quiz & some craft stalls, & of course teas. Just need the weather to be with us for a good turn out, finger’s crossed!

It's terrible what some will stoop to. There are some very old churches and chapels dotted around on these hills here and they often get vandalised. I's so distressing for the members and so pointless. One got done a few weeks ago.
I hope your "Open Garden " day is a success. : )

With all Best Wishes for your event, Poppy! Also for the church roof! Is there a substitute for lead nowadays? I don't know, but hope there is.

good luck for the 20th hope all goes well , and that you have the best of weather ,
I have a real problem believing that there are people that can stoop so low as to steal from churches ,it actually makes you feel sick
best wishes

Well, good for you! When I go to Open Gardens, apart from admiring the gardens and getting ideas, I head for the plants for sale - so keep nurturing! Let us know how it went and I do hope you raise shedloads of money. What mean-spirited, evil vandals some people are. Did you see the Plymouth war memorial vandalism????
