Don’t forget our day trip to West Green House Gardens near Hartley Witney in Hampshire on Saturday 16th June, it is a beautiful corner of North Hampshire. The National Trust’s garden is an 18th century house surrounded by a series of walled gardens. It is a garden of contrast and inspiration created by acclaimed garden designer and writer Marylyn Abbott. It is one of Englands finest manor house gardens, marrying traditional style with contempory design.

DID YOU KNOW ? By 2006 the UK Water Industry had 1,584 boreholes, 666 reservoirs and 602 river abstractions. Two thirds of our water comes from surface water and one third from groundwater.
Ralph Walso Emerson (1803-1882) said “The good rain, like the bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.”
Happy Gardening
