We are delighted with the response of our garden visitors, our volunteers and supporters to our appeal for help and funds for the garden.

We have seven new volunteer gardeners helping to keep the garden looking lovely, which really makes a difference.

And we have raised money for beautiful planting, for a shredder to help with composting, for a watering system (this has really pleased the volunteer gardeners!) and garden tools.

All this thanks to your generous donations to our bird box and to our garden account, as well as thanks to the volunteers who have helped with our amazing Pop Up Teas by baking or serving, giving the money made from Teas to the Garden Fund.

It gives a warm glow of appreciation, which helps keep us all going.

Please don’t feel you’ve missed the boat if you have gardening skills to share – call in at the Office weekday afternoons or email ethelwoldhouse@gmail.com

Please keep feeding our bird box with kind donations towards the Garden Fund.

And please keep coming to enjoy the peace and beauty of the garden in all seasons…. watch out in the coming months for Coffee and Cake by the Fireside, for Beautiful Books and Christmas Crafts.
