Music in the Garden 2022

Music in the Garden 2022

Freda reopened her garden on Sunday 3rd July for her annual, and very popular, Music in the Garden event

Top crooner Peter Sinclair returned as host for the afternoon, crooning a few numbers himself and was followed by a fantastic lively set by Santino accompanied by his acoustic guitar.

We were then treated to a set by George Tormann’s London Concert Chorus, who sang songs including from ‘What a Wonderful World‘, ‘You’ve got a Friend in Me‘ and ‘A Thousand Years

We also had a debut appearance from Zara-Louise, who gave us an acoustic set on her guitar whilst  welcoming visitors into the garden.

The afternoon raised an impressive £2,140 for the NSPCC.

NGS Open Garden, 2018

NGS Open Garden, 19th July 2018

I was delighted to welcome another 154 people to the garden for my final National Garden Scheme opening for 2018.

 

The weather stayed dry for us and I’m delighted to report that I raised just over £885 for the NGS.

 

The garden was again brought to life with live music from local musicians and I’m pleased to say the nearby airshow didn’t put off visitors coming. 

 

Another afternoon enjoyed by all.
