Stuart Cottage, Surrey; a September opening remembered

As our gardens begin to reopen it's lovely to remember the stunning September we had in 2019. Long, late summer days full of sunshine marked the month and, with its glorious half acre looking amazing, Stuart Cottage in East Clandon, Surrey prepared to open. The smell of cakes baking drifted from open windows and mingled on the breeze with the scent of the freshly mown lawns,  typifying the preparations for a National Garden Scheme open day. Plants that had been nurtured all year were being prepared for sale. We hope you enjoy this taste of a September open day with owners John and Gayle Leader, and that this September there will be many more like it...
