WELL DID WE...OR DID WE NOT?

34 comments


After weeks of hard work and perserverence, and doubt, decided to take the bull by the horn and phone the NGS, the garden was looking so much better and the major work was at an end……….we were both worried the garden would be considered too small, well nothing ventured !!!
We had the County Organizer visit us who was a lovely lady and was very complimentary which gave us hope, followed by another visit from her Assistant, both agreed they would be delighted to have us in The Book !!! so we are over the moon, after years of gardening we can give some pleasure to other like minded people and raise loads of money for the charity, we are already making plans to improve some of the areas………….so off we go again.

Andrew thanks very much will take you up on that offer, will most probably be in a bit of a panic this time next year.!!
Thank you all very much for your support and kind wishes.

How good is that? You must be thrilled and terrified in equal measures. I think I'd find 45 minutes of interest in your succulent collection before I even got started on the garden!

Wagger that is very kind of you, and yes I am both pleased and terrified, still keep looking at the garden and thinking I dont like that and that is in the wrong place...

Hi Dd, have only just caught up with this, but heartiest congrats to you and your OH, it is wonderful news!!! We are in Wilts, so like Cinders, not too far from Hampshire, as would love to see your great garden when you open it up to the public :~))

17 Jun, 2010

 

Perhaps we could go together Floribunda ?

17 Jun, 2010

 

That sounds good to me Cinders, we could always arrange to pick you up on the way over...... :~))

17 Jun, 2010

 

That would be lovely. Is it going to be this year or next, do you know.

17 Jun, 2010

 

Think Dd is looking at next year, Cinders, but might be worth Pm ing to check?

17 Jun, 2010

 

Thanks Flori and Cinders we would be delighted to see you both, it would be great fun, it does have to be next year, as it takes some time to set it all up in the book, you apply one year and then your entered in the next year.

17 Jun, 2010

 

Thanks DD. You will have to let us know where you are then at some time in the future. Look forward to it.

Just to clarify - garden owners submit their opening date(s) in September this year for next year's book. The info is then processed by county and passed to Head Office who then collate it all and send it off for printing. The book should appear in shops next March with County booklets appearing in Garden Centres soon after (dependant on volunteers taking them out)

I shall have to make a decision then, the garden is constantly changing, what looks brilliant now will look awful next week and so on.....decisions, decisions......
