The annual plant sale at Charlton House is run by the Charlton House Garden Volunteers and CABAHS. It's always a popular event, raising much needed funds for the Community Hospice and maintenance of the grounds at the House.
Set in the lovely walled garden, we lent a hand getting things ready for the event:
🌻 Collecting trestle tables from Charlton House and setting them up in the garden.
💐 Setting up the display shelving.
🪻Fetching plants from the small walled garden to the sales area.
🍰 Putting up the gazebo for the Women's Institute cake stall.
🌹Putting out signage boards around the estate.
When it was all set up the garden looked wonderful with loads of plants ready to go to new homes (well, gardens really!)
With opening time approaching a long queue of customers had formed, all eager for the gates to open.
We left before the rush, and headed to the Old Cottage Tearooms for a coffee to round off the morning.
