Blue skies and brilliant sunshine blessed the five open gardens in Stalmine village.

Formal flower beds, wildflower meadows, spectacular shrubbery, decadent pots, aromatic herb gardens, flourishing fruit trees, ponds, water features and a glorious lakeside walk, were on view to be savoured and enjoyed by all who visited.

A warm welcome, delightful refreshments and activities for children were on offer to all who called by. It was the most wonderful and relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Special thanks to all those kind parishioners who shared their lovely outdoor spaces.
