Whatlington

HELLO: Although the weather forecast is warning of cold and wet weather I hope that you all get the chance to enjoy the bank holiday Monday and to get out into the countryside. The bluebells look stunning and the carpet of spring flowers have transformed the hedgerows.

NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBOURS IN SEDLESCOMBE: Sedlescombe & District Garden Society will be holding their Annual Plant Sale on Saturday 6th May 2017 in the Village Hall. There will be a good selection of Shrubs, Bedding Plants, Vegetables and Herbs available at very reasonable prices. Our friends at Friary Gardeners will have a stall so please come along and support this very worthwhile charity. In addition there will be a stall selling Hanging Baskets and Patio Pots, the very popular Cake Stall selling a variety of home-made cakes and a Greetings Cards table with cards for all occasions. Also, for the first time, we will be selling timber planters in various sizes. Refreshments will be served throughout the morning, so you can have a chat with your like-minded neighbours over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.

The event, which is sponsored by Blackbrook’s Garden Centre, will be open to the public from 10.30 am until 12.30 pm. – admission free.

This is a very popular event, so get along early to avoid disappointment and grab yourselves a bargain or two.
