Open Garden Afternoon

On 30th August, SI Richmond & Dales provided refreshments for the Open Garden Afternoon hosted by Marcia and Dennis McLuckie at their beautiful walled garden in Richmond.  This event was in aid of one of our Presidents’ charities, Just The Job. The amount raised from our sales of refreshments and the raffle of two food hampers was a fabulous £401.10.  A big thank you to our cake bakers and helpers on the day and those who donated to the raffle hampers.   It was busy but enjoyable and great to be out doing things in the community again. The entry money to the garden was about £2000, with just over 200 visitors coming to explore this lovely English country garden. Steve Biggs also sold plants from Just the Job plant nursery.
