Muriel Jones Allotments Open Day
Thanks to all those who helped on the NGS open day at Muriel Jones allotments. Whether you baked a cake, helped get the site looking good or were there on the day, it was all appreciated!
From admission charges and sale of refreshments, we managed to raise £325 for the good causes supported by the NGS ( National Garden Scheme.)
Where your money goes
In 2020 we will not be opening the site. After four very successful years, we have decided to take a fallow one.
