Mum's Open Garden For The NGS

Thanks for all your kind messages for my wife, she's much better now and went back to work today! 

My mum sent me a link last night to show that she's going to open her garden for the charity this year with the NGS.
I've posted about her garden before (click the link here to see) and it's easy to see where I get my love of gardening from, although mine is a very different type of garden!

Her garden is simply stunning any time of the year but she has planned this garden to be at it's peak during July and that's when she is opening to the public for the first time. 

The dates for your diary will be Sunday the 16th of July and Sunday the 23rd of July, so everyone keep your fingers crossed for good weather!


Although it's a long way off I hope to see some of you there, it's for a good cause and I guarantee  you won't be disappointed! 



Would you ever open your garden to the public?

    Wow, that is stunning. My garden to the public? Only if they want to see a lot of weeds! Your mother and my mother would have had much to talk about as my mom's gardens always looked like something out of a magazine.

      Just her. She gets someone to mow the lawn but she does everything else.

    Her garden is absolutely beautiful. I love the walled bit and the lovely brick shed, it just sets everything else off so well. I wish we lived closer it would be great to see it in the flesh.

    I'm hoping you will take lots more photos of her garden on the open days for us to drool over.

    Perfect in every way.
    I'd love to open our veg area to the public to show people what they are missing out on, home grown all the way.

    my garden is a swamp and a builders yard at the moment. I will in the future hope to have a lovely garden but we keep moving. I have a picture of a garden in my head. At some point it might happen right.

    How lovely of your mum to show everyone her garden. It looks stunning in the picture. Well done that Mum!!!
