A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Village Shop plant sale this morning. Despite the grey skies, there was a wonderful turnout and lots of plants found new homes, all contributing to the shop funds.
Thank you to all the sellers, those who kindly donated plants, and our happy band of volunteers who helped throughout the morning and served so brilliantly in the café. A super morning was had by all!
Photo shows setting up before the surge of buyers! 😁

Lining up donated plants ready for tomorrow's sale 10am outside the village shop!

Thank you to everybody who has donated so far (proceeds all going towards shop maintenance). There's still time to donate too - just drop off at the shop or bring along for the start tomorrow morning.

And we're growing! This year Kevin Mullins will have a table so an even greater range of plants available, and our local Biodiversity Group will also have information available on the Wild Spaces project and how to sign up your garden as a welcoming place for wildlife.

The Village Shop cream tea event was a tremendous success, with almost 80 teas served over the course of the two hours. We had a steady queue of people throughout, which was wonderful to see. A huge thank you goes to our fantastic scone makers and the dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the event run so smoothly especially Claire Parkin. Most of all, our sincere thanks go to the local villagers whose support and enthusiasm made the day such a success.

Calling all gardeners! Just two weeks to go until our plant sale at the shop on Sunday morning (17th) 10am to noon. All proceeds to shop maintenance.

If you have any spare plants that you can donate they'd be very gratefully received at the shop a few days beforehand or on the morning itself in good time for the start of the sale.
