East Williamston Open Gardens ...

The Village of East Williamston opened the gardens of three houses this afternoon.

All proceeds raised were for the local church.

Garden 1

A very large, rough, garden still in process of being 'discovered' through fields of brambles!

~

Lots of produce in the polytunnel 

The lovely cockerel in charge of about 6 hens. 

The trees are the beginnings of an apple orchard. 

Just a few token flowers.  Everything else was produce for the table or freezer.

Garden 2

Quite different. A haven of tranquility with neat and tidy borders.

~

Large, peaceful lawned areas.

Peaceful patio areas with quirky sculptures!

~

Garden 3

Neat, tidy and very productive.

On arrival we discovered we knew the owners through our bowls playing.

~

Down the path past broad beans, beetroot and carrots. 

The overspill of tomato plants in the heated greenhouse.

The runner beans in the polytunnel are just ready to eat.

~ 

The grapes are very prolific already and are a very tasty red which makes good wine and jelly!

~

All finished off with a Victorian Tea in the Village Hall. 

Pretty Victorian-type patterned crockery, hand embroidered table cloths

and home-made cakes and sandwiches.

~

The sun shone all day and it was brilliant.

Hope you had a good weekend.
