To celebrate the event several gardens in the village were open to visitors including Beckstones, with its beautiful pond and rich variety of trees and shrubs, Bower Bank, The Ferns, and a spectacular piece of natural landscape in Randal Howe, artfully and lovingly touched up by the gardener. Its rockery the crags of Eskdale, its pond a natural spring, it looks over the rooftops of the village in one direction and and over the Ratty in the other. It is impossible to capture all of this in one picture, and you'll have to put up with the one we have chosen to convey a faint impression of what it is like.
More than £4,500 were raised this year, and the organisers are always on the look out for new artists and new crafts.
