Parking in Church Road was at a premium last Sunday (29th April) as visitors flocked to the inaugural opening of Berry Cottage Garden under the National Gardens Scheme.
The Resident Gardener, Phyll Watts, was on hand to provide information and offer advice and expert guidance to visitors.
What could be better on a warm spring afternoon than a Cream Tea. Not surprisingly the catering department was fully stretched throughout the afternoon and supplies were virtually exhausted by the end of the day.

From personal experience, I can recommend the fare on offer having been provided with a sample of their offerings by one of the charming ladies dispensing tea, cream scones and a mouth watering variety of cakes and sponges from the Berry Cottage Kitchen.(I'm sure I've seen this lady before somewhere)
Visitors were still arriving half an hour before the garden closed, taking advantage of the evening sun to view the horticultural delights of the Berry Cottage Garden.
The residents of course, are entitled to special privileges and took the opportunity for a few minutes relaxation on their reserved seating at the end of a glorious day.
