PLANT STALL: It is planned that the Plant Stall at Bryndon, Station Road, Plumpton Green will close at the end of September, but will re-open again at Easter 2019. Alan and Jenny Greening would like to thank everyone who has supported the Plant Stall this year, whether that be by buying plants or donating plants. As a result of all your efforts, it has been a very successful year and they have not only supported the Plumpton Voluntary Driving Scheme which was their primary aim, but also St Peter and St James Hospice and the Happy Circle. Additionally a donation has been made to the Malawi Association for Christian Support through Sally Huband, who despite giving up her own stall on the Ridge, has continued to supply the stall with plants. It is hoped that your purchases have given you pleasure this summer and will continue to do so for many seasons to come
