Ampney Crucis -
Open Garden
Friends of Ampney Crucis School are
sharing their fundraising with us. They want to show
you what primary school children can achieve in the
garden in just 8 months. The wildlife garden is a major
feature as is the vegetable patch. They have taken design
advice to incorporate fun leisure areas such as a grassed
tunnel & a performance area. The idea is that people
of all ages can learn from each other in the garden!
Gates open at 2pm with teas,
plants & stalls or why not enjoy an early evening
drink & BBQ at 5pm. |
