    The weather was perfect for this year’s Lansdown Open Gardens event and we had a record number of over 400 visitors looking at all the wonderful gardens.

    The Plant Stall on the Millennium Green did a roaring trade and for most of the afternoon the St. Stephen’s Centre was packed with people enjoying delicious homemade cakes and teas.
