Part of the event team, Rosie said: “This is a huge community event this weekend and we have been so surprised at the uptake we have had. We completely sold out of the talks a couple weeks ago and we expect well over twenty ‘garden with wheels’ turning up on Saturday morning… including a planted Chevrolet, we hear.

“There are many activities happening in the Mill garden as well as a craft fair. It’s going to be a fantastic community event. Please come along!”
