Despite the unseasonably wet afternoon it was a happy occasion to eventually present Virtual Open Gardens winners Mary and Barry Roberts with their Garden Centre voucher.  Thanks to Major Tom and Mrs Rosemary Hancock for their generous prize donation, and also to Mrs Jules Redgers for her logistical and organisational support.
​
Thanks again to Mark Tsakarisianos and the staff of Gotherington Nurseries who judged all the photographic entries.
If you would like to visit the winning garden please see details on the National Garden Scheme website:

PRE-BOOKING ESSENTIAL for the next open day on

Wednesday 23rd September 10am - 5pm
  • Green Bough, Greet, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire
  • Small informal country garden developed over 6 years, planted for all seasons starting in early spring with massed bulbs and flowers surrounding the house, including the grass verge. Most of the plants are either grown from seed or propagated from cuttings by the owner, to give generous drifts of colour.

And Why Not?
As many of Winchcombe's Open Gardens fraternity have given positive feedback about the recent Virtual Tour, it would seem churlish not to publish some more photos that have recently appeared in OG Inbox. 

​Therefore, If you would like to show-off your garden throughout the summer then please carry on sending photos and I will do my best to publish them.

This beautiful garden in Mill Lane backs on to the River Isbourne (below)  - which proves to be "a nice backdrop and brings ducks and moorhens.".

All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!
Kenneth Grahame

Congratulations
to Barry and Mary Roberts!

Barry and Mary's beautiful garden has been selected as the winning entry in Winchcombe’s Virtual Garden Tour! 

The competition was judged by Mark, Liz and the whole team at Gotherington Nurseries and “it was a group decision”. 
 
Major Tom and Mrs Rosemary Hancock donated the prize of a £25 garden voucher and in normal circumstances we would organise a ‘prize-giving’ photograph for insertion in the Parish magazine – as well as in this Open Gardens website and Facebook page.  However it has been agreed that it is best to postpone presenting the prize until some of the Covid 19 restrictions have eased.   

Watch this space - whilst also enjoying the winning photographs again:
