Garden Visit
Monday 17 July 2023
On Monday 17th July we visited the garden of Chris Cheesewright at 2 Cedar Avenue, Wickford, who is a member of the National Garden Scheme and is included in this year’s NGS Calendar.
Besides gardening, Chris is Chair of the Federation of British Aquatic Society and has a pond in the garden.
His garden is small but tightly packed with a vast amount of different and colourful flowers and plants.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and the cake.
