Great Waldingfield Open Gardens














 I enjoyed  the Great Waldingfield Open Gardens event on Sunday, although it was not possible to get round all of the gardens in the three hours I had available, which was a pity.

The garden above is near the Church, and had some lovely clematis, as can be seen.

I was impressed that our ex next door neighbour Pam was brave enough to open her garden despite only having moved at the end of last year!  I was too busy chatting however to take a picture of her great view of the school pond.

I was interested to see the meadow area left for the benefit of wildlife in one garden, pictured below.  The grass is cut in two stages, one side in July and the other in October, and the result is that different varieties of plant colonise each area.  Apparently it is very important to pick up the cut grass so that the soil does not become too rich.
