TWO gardens in Marlbrook opened this year for the National Gardens Scheme – Oak Tree House on the Birmingham Road and Round Hill Garden in Braces Lane, and raised £2,866 for NGS charities, plus £501 for the Basement Project from the sale of tea and cakes.
Round Hill Garden also raised £760 for Parkinsons UK from an evening opening with the garden illuminated at dusk.
Our thanks to all the volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to open, the visitors who gave so generously, Bromsgrove Council for the use of the car park and Barclays Bank for the match funding.
Also to Fresh at Burcot for a raffle prize and Duncombes and Morrisons for their support in providing meat and bread for hot dogs and burgers on the evening opening for Parkinsons UK.
Next year, both gardens will be opening again for the NGS, on Sunday, May 23, and Sunday, August 30, 2015. See www.roundhillgarden.
