Well done indeed.The hospice must have been over the moon to receive such a large donation. Your garden looks wonderful. You have a lovely grey tree is it a eucalyptus near the house. It all looks very tropical.

What a lot of hard work, but well worth it Louis. Your garden is beautiful, and I'm sure that everyone who visited will agree. Well done on raising so much for your charity.

Your garden looks very mature and it was a pleasure to hear of your open day, view your pictures and read of your marvellous fund-raising! I'm only just a beginner and am still "clearing" our back garden (aka "weeding/digging") so no nice piccies to post yet. Great garden, Louis.

Congratulations Louis, what an amazing amount you raised!!!!!!!! I would love to live nearer and be able to see your gorgeous, glamourous garden for myself. Do you know how many visitors came?

Garden looks great - I will try to visit next year as you must be local to me for Radio Northampton to be over. What a lot of money you raise too - well done.

Fantastic result - all your hard work paid off, Louis!

Do you know how many visitors you had?

Thank you so much Bornagain, Olivedenise and Spritzhenry. I think, we must have had at least 800 or maybe 1,000 people ...... I live in Rushden, Northants Olivedenise :-)

The opening of your garden and raising all that money must have been like the icing on the top of the cake. What a marvellous effort. Congratulations.

Thank you Kfunsters, Motinot, Labdancer51 and Stroller. I had a lovely weekend talking to the visitors, it went every so well and quick...:-)

Goodness gracious! That's a lot!

That's right Spritzhenry, there were people all over lol

It's tiring, isn't it - but well worth doing.

Yes, it's amazing how tiring it is, but worth it and enjoyable at the same time :-)

I'd go along with that, Louis! :-)

It was nice to see it again, so thanks Sandra :-))

Are you opening your garden again this summer Louis?

If everything goes well, yes I will. Lost quite a few big plants this Winter, so going to do something different at the end of the garden. If I finish on time, then I will open the garden once again...

Looking forward to seeing your garden on Saturday, Louis. Hope the weather is good. Am coming with Ann(ella) all being well.

Hi Mariek, looking forward to seeing you and Ann on Saturday. Ann said, you'll be coming around 1pm or thereabouts ...... See you then.
