A nice photo of the garden taken by my neighbour Emma. A bunch of us were sitting outside on Sunday evening after the Open Garden event in my neighbourhood. The photography in the diary is invariably my own but this one captured the moment relaxing after a busy day so I asked Emma if I could include it.

 The garden was open to the public on Saturday 10-2 and Sunday 2-6. I didn't keep track of numbers but I imagine something like 60-80 people each day. It was great but tiring meeting and greeting so many visitors.

 I remember the first time I took part back in 2016 there was a mixture of appreciation and bemusement at the "wild" garden approach. This time round pretty much everyone I spoke to was interested in the ethos of the garden and the plants selected.
