Open your gardens for 'in bloom' fundraiser

KEEN gardeners in Portishead are being asked to show off the fruits of their labours this summer to raise money for charity.

Portishead in Bloom is appealing to homeowners to take part in this year's Open Gardens weekend on June 8 and 9.

Each year a variety of people open up their gardens for the event with people buying a programme to visit them.

Money raised from the sale of programmes goes towards Portishead in Bloom's work in the town and the open gardens event is the group's biggest fundraiser of the year.

Anyone who wants to find out more can call Sandy Tebbutt on 01275 843566.
