On the Sunday morning we will hold an open air service  "Praise in the Garden", conducted by the Rev. Julie Ramsbotham in the old church in the Garden, and as before we expect to have a choir and music for this lovely event.

There will be lots of food and drink available, and the villages will again staff what proved in 2007 to be a very popular Tea Garden, providing coffee, tea and home-made cakes. This time the villages plant stall will be extended to offer homemade produce as well.
