Open Gardens 2023
Open Gardens 2023
(May 20th & 21st)
This year's event was a real success. We had lots of visitors to the beauticul gardens that our very kind residents from the area made avaiable.
And we were blessed with some fantastic weather!
Visit our gallery to see images of the gardens.
The Open Gardens page contains a review of the event and a poem, 'In this place', by Jenny Lynne Sessions aka Jen-ix which was kindly passed to us by Sarah and Oliver in celebration of the Open Gardens 2023.
IN THIS PLACE
Water flows in gaps and spaces,
Turns and falls
like time
The garden smiles as good folk dress her with their gratitude
Laughter echoes through the twisting trees where birds and rabbits dart
The gentle tracks of roaming deer call magic to the dance
At dusk a breeze unfolds the evening
To the beat of nature’s heart
shadows play
bats zig zag by
beneath the twinkling stars
The burly night owl hoots her prayer
such beauty holds this place
The forest sings her good night song and I am filled with grace
