Chilterns Open Gardens
Tring & Wigginton July 2008
Around £2,500 was raised by the wonderful gardeners and our supporters in Tring and Wigginton on two successive Sundays this month. From the small but perfectly formed cottage gardens within the Tring Triangle, to the sweeping views in Wigginton there was plenty of variety as well as a warm welcome for all our visitors.
The Open Garden scheme has been a huge success for Iain Rennie this summer raising a total of almost £36,000 including a very generous donation from an anonymous benefactor at the Beaconsfield open gardens. Thank you to all who have put in so much work to this event, and to everyone who visited the gardens and contributed to this fantastic total.
