Record Visitor Numbers in 2007!

 

Our 30th Anniversary Open Gardens event in the beautiful Worcestershire village of Ashton under Hill attracted over 1500 visitors from all over the country. We are very grateful to them and to all the many garden owners, volunter helpers and sponsors who helped make the event such a huge success.

We were blessed with excellent weather and there were 30 gardens open for viewing, ranging from traditional country cottage and vegetable gardens, to rose and shrub displays, formal designs and larger landscaped plots, all with a wide variety of plants.

There was also a fascinating exhibition of photographs of Ashton Then and Now in St Barbara’s Church, as well as displays in the Stable at the Old Farmhouse, including one by the Ashton Footpath Working Party and an exhibition about the Ashton under Hill Conservation Area by Wychavon District Council.

Plant sales, a wide range of refreshments, and activites for young people and children also helped make this a very popular family day out.
