Cottage garden plant sale at Little Oakley
Home-grown plants and afternoon teas will be on offer in the beautiful garden of Moat Cottage, Little Oakley, the home of Diane and Barry Bright, at the annual plant sale in aid of charity on Sunday 15th May from 1.30pm to 5pm.
There will be summer bedding, perennials, herbs, hostas and vegetable plants on sale in aid of Amicus, a local charity which supports young people with autism and their families. The event is building on the success of last year’s sale, which raised £600 for Riding for the Disabled.
For ideas on planting, you will be able to stroll through the Moat Cottage garden to see how the garden has evolved over the past 30 years. Amicus supporters will be serving afternoon tea and cakes and there will be a stall selling cakes, preserves and crafts.
The plants on sale will help you to add colour and interest to your garden and there will be experienced gardeners on hand to give advice.
Little Oakley, which dates from Anglo Saxon times, is between Corby and Kettering and is one of the smallest villages in Northamptonshire. There are three working farms, 26 houses and a redundant church.
There will be plenty of parking. Just follow the signs when you get to the village. Some plants may be available after the open day, so please call Diane on 01536 745013 to arrange to visit.
