Burley Gardener's are holding an Open Garden on 1st September 2019 in aid of raising funds for the Burley Scout & Guide New Headquarters between 1pm and 5pm.

Sue & Gordon Vint's garden is a delight for plant lovers with borders of rare and unusual perennials and shrubs. There is a pond and a streamside walk, plus many unusual features.

Admission Adults £3 (Under 16's free) Home made teas and plants for sale, Children's Garden Quiz. Guide Dogs only please. The venue: 19 Menston Old Lane, Burley in Wharfedale.

As you can see, there is nothing much here as yet, following a crash on the old server, pretty much everything was lost, so I am gradually restoring the site piece by piece.

Please bear with me whilst I decide what pieces will be restored...
