With our Open garden fast approaching on the 17th and 18th September we are finally approaching the end of some projects and some of the preparation.
The 'plough Inn' , our old packing shed has been renovated or at least brought back to a safe condition with the help of friends. Our rustic garden feature/fountain has reached a satidfactory stage although I have not really identified the various ferns which we have planted to decorate it. some i can identify such as the Doodia, Pteris and Adiantum species. Other identifications will be a job for the future.
Our 'Gatehouse' has been erected near the front gate to greet visitor in shelter. The gatepost nearest had to be removed and will need replacing this weekend.
Showers and rain continue and all that we can hope is that he weather will be fine for the day
