Musters Road Open Gardens
Looking round other people’s gardens is one of the nicest
ways to spend a Sunday afternoon – whether the main purpose is to borrow some
planting ideas, enjoy chatting with other gardeners, take some gentle exercise
and refreshment or, let’s be honest, be a bit nosey! The open gardens concept
certainly isn’t new to West Bridgford – Lady Bay and Selby Road have
well-established open weekends - but now
it’s the turn of some of Musters Road’s residents to reveal all and – they hope
– raise a decent sum of money for a local charity.
The date is September 9th (put it in your diaries
now!) and there will be a dozen or so gardens opening up – big, small and
somewhere in between, with the added attraction of cream teas, home –made
cakes, a plant stall, fruit pressing, a wandering minstrel and games and
activities to keep the children happy. The gardens will be open from 2 - 6 pm
and it won’t cost a fortune – just £3 per person or £5 for two (no charge for
children) will get you into all the gardens and every penny raised will go to
the Friary Drop-in Centre on Musters Rd, which does such a brilliant job
supporting people who are suffering hardship because of homelessness,
unemployment or other personal crises.
More information is available on this website and on Facebook and twitter - details to follow.
