Fletching village set to host Garden Trail
FLETCHING village will host is annual Garden Trail on Sunday, June 13 from 11am.
The trail was established in 1992 to raise funds for Fletching CE Primary School and has become one of the famous events on the gardening calendar, attracting people from all across the south east to see the village's private gardens.
Some gardens also participate in the National Garden Scheme, including Clinton Lodge garden – a grand 18th century house with a 17th century style scented herb garden and vine and rose allee and wild flower garden.
One garden also benefits from its own astronomical observatory.
This year there will also be an art exhibition in the village hall by the Chailey and Newick Painting Group.
Many paintings will be for sale as well as handmade greetings cards.
There will also be the chance to win an original watercolour by the group's show secretary, Lorna Holdcroft BA Hons, in a separate raffle.
More than 20 gardens take part this year.
Last year's highest ever attendance stood at 475 entrants and over 5000 was raised.
Extra parking will be provided by local farmers and home made lunches served in one of the privately owned gardens.
Locally produced goods and plants will also be available for purchase.
