Open Gardens is on the look out again for people in Crosspool who would like to be community spirited and open their garden to raise some money for their chosen charity.
Anyone can have a go! This event is to encourage people to get outside, walk round the neighbourhood, meet new people and enjoy their gardens.
No previous experience required, no perfect gardens needed, just a warm welcome, a patch of interest in the garden be it plants, vegetables, chickens, bees or an activity you’d like to share with others.
Oh and maybe a cuppa with a nice piece of cake!
Interested in getting involved? Get in touch with Lindsey before 1 April on 0114 230 1041 or lindseybeagles@gmail.com.
