Garden trail for Broadgreen Hospital.
Well, its all over, it went very well indeed, I think we have raised lots of
money, inclusive of Sponsors Barclays, and Waitrose, who provided the cream teas. We had about 130+ in my garden, (not all at once, ) very steady, and enjoyed seeing familiar faces, of friends and relatives. The most asked about shrub, besides oohs and ahhs about the crocosmia Lucifer, in full bloom, (thank you mother nature) was the Sorbaria aitchisonii, I found one person laying down, trying to read the label! I had a small table with various cuttings, Laburnum, poppy, rowan, foxglove, and hellebore, that did very well, £25, I only asked for donations, not a fixed price, this seems to be good, as people putting in at least a £1 coin for a small pot. A very enjoyable day, but it started off, me and hubby sitting there, itching to be working until the first people came! |
