Opening Update! 28/03/2013 12 Ansell Road - The garden opening on April 5th will go ahead despite the garden having been under almost two feet of snow for the last ten days. Visitors will be welcomed with hot Courgette and Chilli Soup, hot chocolate, tea, coffee and cakes - from garden owner Dave Darwent's, recipe book "Recipes from Grandma's Garden", on sale in aid of the NGS. Visitors are asked to note that the weather has had a very adverse effect upon the garden and flowers will be few and far between. Many plants are extremely behind for the time of year. The garden owner has kindly agreed to hold an additional open day on Sunday August 18th, in light of this recent bad weather.
Recipes From Grandma's Garden 18/03/2013 Book of cake recipes now available to raise funds for NGS. "Recipes from Grandma's Garden" contains 15 cake and pastry recipes , which are always best sellers at garden open days, and a couple of preserving recipes. Mostly old family recipes. £2.50 per copy with profit of £1.15 per copy to NGS. Copies available by post - P&P £1.00 up to 2 copies, 50p per extra copy thereafter. Contact: dave@poptasticdave.co.uk
