vegetable garden and NGS day

The vegetable garden continues to produce a wide variety of quality produce available to buy Saturday to Wednesday at the times specified below.

The NGS (National Garden Scheme) day is taking place at Claydon on Sunday 9th September between 2pm and 5pm. With the gardens in full bloom and teas due to be served in a marque on the lawns, it should prove to be a wonderful afternoon. And with gate receipts raising money for charity there is no excuse not to attend. We hope to see you here.
