Dear Editor,

I would like to thank and congratulate all those involved with the Ross-on-Wye Open Gardens. Special thanks must go to those keen gardeners who opened their gardens, the different sizes from small courtyard gardens to large mature gardens and variety of styles from traditional to modern, all beautifully maintained, made for a delightful and uplifting weekend of horticultural surprises.

Judging by the number of people I saw walking around the town with their brochures and maps, I am sure it was a great success.

With all the monies raised going to help preserve our beautiful Parish Church, a huge pat on the back and well done for an event that was well organised, publicised and executed and look forward to a repeat next year or the year after.

Philip Dennis, Chairman of Ross-on-Wye Horticultural Society.
