National Garden Scheme

I just popped in to the garden centre (riverside) with my neighbour before it start raining (and picked up a venus fly trap) and saw this booklet and thought i would share it so other people that like me find gardening helps pass the time while they are indoor as a form of therapy and you get to raise money by showing off your garden for other charities in the process, the website has a bigger list of places the booklet it just ones local to me but it illustrates the idea

Over the years I have visited several places to view people's gardens. Some of them are amazing. People put huge effort into making their garden as beautiful as possible. Hope to see a few more this year.

We only have a small patch of garden but now I don't have to go out to work I hopefully will have time to give it more attention.

I used to like growing tomatoes in pots. You get amazing taste from home grown. The supermarket ones are so bland.

Just read your link and it sounds good.

Your post has inspired me to do a bit more growing this year.
