July (exact date to be announced)
Evening Summer Gathering
Jane and Tony Churly will be opening their garden at 58 Salmons Way,
Fakenham for an opportunity to not only explore their garden, but also
mingle with other members and gardeners, with a glass of something
and a bite to eat.
Jane and Tony moved to Fakenham in 2020 and the garden they
inherited was typical of any new build. They have drawn on their years
of gardeneing both in Norfolk and Southern France to design and plant a
new garden, incorporating their love for unusual plants and outdoor living.
So why not join us? Their garden is open from 6:30pm. Parking on Salmons
Way itself is quite limited, so we are recommending you car share
wherever possible
