Wimborne in Bloom held its annual Open Gardens Day on 5 September. It hadn’t been possible in 2020 and was further delayed from the usual date in June.

Despite many other attractions in the area at the weekend the support for this event was magnificent with over 600 people travelling from garden to garden and spending money – every penny of which will be used by Wimborne in Bloom to provide the town’s floral displays.

Richard Nunn, chairman of Wimborne in Bloom said: “To say ‘thank you’ almost seems inadequate to recognise the work put in by all involved – especially those who spent so many hours ensuring their gardens were at their best even later in the season. The efforts of everyone resulted in over £4,200 being raised – thank you all so much. Wimborne in Bloom would also like to thank our generous sponsor of printing and other costs – Christopher Batten, Estate Agents.
