Our village open gardens was, of course , cancelled so two ladies set up 'bring and buy' plant stalls and someone else made bird houses to sell for the hospice. They made over £300. The stall near us was always full and I got several nice plants and also took along some spares I had.

What a lovely thread. This one is lacking something at the mo but I am sure the goalposts will soon be back in place!

I don’t have a garden but a friend does and she gave me this lovely bunch of flowers from her garden, I can’t express how much I am enjoying them !

Although my garden is tiny it is coming into bloom.
However this is currently my favourite pic.

The last photo is the scented bed that I made when we first came here. It smells lovely - except for the wild garlic that seeded in it!

I also love grasses and have several dotted about - they look very beautiful in the sunset.

Ours is mostly courgettes... More football pitch than show garden.

Here we are. I’ve actually posted them on before on the annuals thread.

That’s Puck. It’s his time of the year?

Please add pictures from your garden.

I did warn you. Our garden is tiny but we love it.

This weekend should have been our village open gardens - sadly cancelled.

Having been part of this previously we know that it is hard work over the two days but also enormous fun.

We have had the front garden redesigned recently but dh (particularly) has worked very hard to make the back garden look good!

The event also makes a lot of money for our local children's hospice which will, sadly, miss out this year.

I thought it might be nice to have a Gransnet Open Gardens event so here are some of our plants. Watch out, I could go mad!!
