Brent Knoll Open Gardens 2007


LABURNUM COTTAGE, MIDDLE STREET - I will be opening my garden again this year for the National Gardens Scheme on Sunday the 8th of July from 2 – 5.30pm. 

 

The National Gardens Scheme is a charity which raises money by a making a small charge for entrance to the garden, in this case, £2.50.  The proceeds are shared between various charities. These include; Macmillan Cancer Relief, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Help the Hospices, Crossroads – Caring for the Carers, plus several others.

 

For those who were not able to visit last year, I have a collection of over 400 Hemerocallis varieties (Daylilies) which are very colourful and at their peak during the first week of July. 

 

The garden is approximately half an acre, recently developed to display all the daylilies, which include many unusual form and spider type flowers.  There will be several varieties available for sale.  It is laid out in large, sweeping borders with mixed plantings of shrubs, perennials and many grasses.  It is also a registered Hemerocallis Display Garden.

 

There will once again be excellent cream teas and home made cakes provided by Pauline Lunn, which proved so popular last year that I’m not sure now who is coming for the teas or to see the garden! The proceeds from the teas will go to her charity for the mentally handicapped.  I hope the sun will be shining, as it was last year, and look forward again to an enjoyable afternoon!
