Additionally, cakes will have been baked, homemade lunches prepared and plants ready to be sold at Wilmslow Wells major fundraiser on Saturday 30th June when 19 beautiful gardens across Wilmslow, Handforth and Alderley Edge will be open between 10.30am and 4.30pm.
Grazyna Moore said "The passion and pride really shows in both gardens large and small as well as this year's new addition of 30 allotments on Chorley Hall Lane, along with the most amazing organic garden of Peter Woollam's in Alderley Edge - with over 250 edible plants! As more and more people are becoming more conscious about their food sources and growth in the interest of sustainability, the allotments are an important addition to this year's list of gardens."
She added "Last year was a record year, raising £15,000 on the day, a testimony to the huge numbers of people both enjoying the day and indeed supporting such a worthwhile charity."
