AUTUMN AT MILL DENE GARDEN

SEE WENDY’S MILL DENE GARDEN IN GLORIOUS AUTUMN COLOURS

Following the success of the spring tour of this Cotswold garden, Mill Dene’s creator and owner Wendy Dare is hosting an opportunity to view it in its autumn glory on Saturday, 18 September 2010.

The RHS-recommended event runs from 11.30am to 3pm. The colours will be rich reds and oranges, the shrubs will be full of leaf and the last flowers of summer will be in bloom. Wendy will lead a guided tour telling more of the personal story, the fun and tears of how the garden was found and created.

An added bonus will be a preview of an exhibition of paintings of Cotswold gardens, including Mill Dene, by David Birch.

As is customary at Mill Dene events, lunch will be a light quiche made with herbs from the garden followed by locally made ice creams and coffee. All attendees will leave with goody bags.

The cost of the day is £25.00 each to RHS members Non- members’ tickets are priced at £28.95 each. Please book in advance on 01386 700457 or use the booking form
