Open Garden on 16th May

 

Chris and Dianne Newson, and Ollie

the dog, invite everyone to their

Open Garden event in aid of City         

of Chelmsford Mencap.

Chris says, "If you are thinking of manicured lawns, co-ordinated flower beds, landscaping, etc., please get that out of your head.  Ours is a more natural garden but there is plenty to explore so please bring kids, grandkids, friends and family.  The more people who come, the more we can raise for City of Chelmsford Mencap so please spread the word.

The garden at Priory Lodge, Braxted Park Road, Tiptree, is open on Saturday 16h May, 10am-4pm.
