A lovely sunny summer’s afternoon saw another very successful Parwich Open Gardens. Our many visitors, who’d travelled from near and far were full of compliments for the gardens and the warm welcome they received. Thank you so much to everyone in helping to make this such a special day in the village calendar which once again has raised several thousand pounds that we shall be able to share among other Parwich clubs and organisations.
Many thanks too to John L for his fantastic photos that have captured the day perfectly.

Anyone for Apples?
Posted in Gardens on Saturday November 12, 2022| Leave a Comment »
More apples …
The apples on my apple tree ripen a bit later than others and I now have plenty. They are better as cookers but not bad as an eating apple either. I have put a box at the bottom of the drive. Please help yourself. Bring your own bags.
