FRIDAY, 10 MAY, Great Gidding Village Hall

Things are hotting up as the date of Great Gidding’s Plant Sale draws near. 

Planter girls

We hope everyone will find time to visit and take advantage of some bargains just in time for summer.  Not only will there be plenty of plants for sale, you can also browse a number of stalls, including unique handmade metal garden ornaments from local maker, Ped Baker, and a horticultural bric a brac stall.  You can bring along your garden questions to put to Radio Cambridgeshire’s expert gardener, Tony Arnold or get some handy hints on how to plant your pots and hanging baskets. There’ll also be a garden-themed raffle and, for the children, a bird quiz with a very special prize!

And there’s more! 

With a Barbecue and a Bar to help you as you browse, the evening of May 10th promises to be a really convivial and fun event.

Entry is free.  Doors open at 5.30p.m.

Do you have any unwanted garden-related items?

Don’t throw them away!  We would love to ‘repurpose’ them for our garden bric à brac stall at the Plant Sale.

We’re looking for unusual items to use as planters (baskets, chimney pots, old boots, chamber pots, etc), as well as any decorative planters you no longer need or like, or anything else with a horticultural theme (garden ornaments, bird feeders, bird boxes, garden lights, gardening books) …anything at all that might make an interesting addition to someone else’s garden.  

All sales on the evening will help to swell the funds for Jubilee Woods projects.

Let your imagination run riot!  

You can either deliver to The Village Shop or call 01832 293240 and we’ll be happy to collect.
