Will there be more builders yard planting and creative up-cycling?
We can guarantee immaculate and classic beautiful offerings that will leave you green with envy...
vegetable beds and allotments to inspire...
as well as children's quiz and family friendly spaces designed to engage and amuse.
This year we will be providing categories so you can plan your route over whilst filling up on cake, drinks and Artisan baked goods in our Beveridge Street open garden where refreshment is sold with Rainbows Fundraising at the very heart of the food and drink.
All fundraising food areas will be highlighted in the NEW programme, as well as Parking areas, picnic areas, fossil trails, children's playgrounds, plant sales ...the list is endless!
