Welcome to our autumn newsletter! After a mixed summer with almost drought conditions, then rain, then cold and then a spectacular August bank holiday, we have certainly had variety.

The dry weather affected the Open Gardens Event. Some flowers were over and some were yet to bloom but it didn’t stop approximately 148 people from coming to see them. We had visitors from Eastbourne and         Chichester as well as the surrounding villages. We missed the strong winds from the day before and the rain the day after so we were very lucky.

 

The three ‘tea gardens’ did a roaring trade, everyone was very complimentary and we raised £1,080. Many thanks to all those who opened their beautiful gardens for the day.
