Having postponed their annual Open Gardens Day, scheduled for late June, Wilmslow Wells for Africa has decided to hold its first ever Virtual Open Gardens Day .

Starting from Saturday, 27th June, various gardeners will share stories about their gardens highlighting an aspect of their recent progress. These will be combined with videos and photographs to bring the gardens to life.

The Open Gardens Day has been one of the charity's biggest fundraisers and last year raised £18,000, which could provide clean water to 6,000 people.

The Virtual Open Gardens Day is accessible via their website or on YouTube.

"We will be inviting you to donate during the tour but if you'd like to you can set the ball rolling now ..."

I will certainly miss visiting the gardens this year in person, but this is a fantastic creative alternative so I hope everyone will visit on line and thoroughly enjoy what I am sure will yet again be an amazing horticultural feast of beautiful local gardens in aid of this great charity and well done and thank you to all those involved for bringing this event to us this year.
