Open Garden

On May 23rd we open the garden for Iain Rennie. Two other gardens in Wendover were also open. There were no clouds in the sky, an unusual event in these parts.
We had 192 visitors and raised £590.

The garden looked great. The flowering cherry was still in full bloom despite the heat.

Prunus 'Shirofugen'


In the back garden the tree peony was the star of the show. It was never before in flower on an open day and it attracted well deserved attention. Unfortunately I lost the label and don't remember the name of the cultivar. A quick search on the Kelways website, where I bought it didn't reveal any similar pictures, so it will remain un-named.
