With some 46 gardens to view from the pavement, hundreds of visitors enjoyed walks around the village through the summer and helped raise £2,300 valuable funds for local hospice, St Peter & St James.

The winner of the People’s Choice prize for the best garden was ‘Edenmore’, Lewes Road, owned by Ron Harris, while the prize for the best planter went to 33 Barncroft Drive, owned by Vera Stevens. One lucky person also won a prize when their vote was the first name draw from a hat.

The organisers, Sue and Jim Stockwell, said: “We are delighted with the feedback from visitors and much appreciate the support from the sponsors, Pots and Pithoi, Jackson Stops, and Heather Martin Garden Design. Covid regulations permitting, we hope to organise an Open Garden event on Sunday 30th May next year.”
