Standon Open Gardens

Saturday 10th July 11am – 6pm

What a wonderful day we had on July 10th for Standon Open Gardens. The weather was a bit damp in the morning, but this did not put people off and we had record numbers of visitors. Everyone said what a happy atmosphere there was as families brought their children along clutching the Treasure Hunt and enjoying a day out together at last. There were many experienced gardeners who asked a lot of interesting questions and many young people who had started gardening during lock down. People came from far and wide and enjoyed the gardens, lunches, teas and the ability to view and purchase art. Singers in gardens helped to raise the festive spirit. Many people were involved in the organization of Open Gardens and I would like to thank everyone for the part they played whether it was the Scouts manning the car park, the cake makers, the suppliers of plants or the ticket sellers. It has been a special community event. How lucky we are to live in Standon! See you all next year. Diana Dale
