Local news: Chelsea Flower Show success and more

Chelsea Flower Show success

Several local people have been involved with the recent Chelsea Flower Show like Jayne Morris from Nailsworth and Natasha Webb whose studio is in Brimscombe, but no mention yet in news that artist Simon Packard whose daughter goes to Randwick Primary School had a beautiful metal pergola in the Daily Telegraph garden that won a Silver medal. Listen to BBC report on this garden here - what I like about the designers of this garden, Gabriella Pape and Isabelle Van Groeningen, is that they are gardening with nature - and taking account of climate change.

The Thistledown Project

Not quite so local but an exciting new project - just beyond the Tinkley Lane wind turbine between Nympsfield and Nailsworth there is a new centre that is an attempt to help people understand more about the countryside. Opening day is 9th June with Woodland Trails, building without concrete & farm animals including kune-kune pigs and Gloucester cattle. They hope to offer an educational and engaging day out for all the family (take a picnic!) and hope to grow and grow… Open Wed – Sun 10am – 5pm during the summer. Artists! If you’re interested in exhibiting your sculptures, call Richard on 860420. More at: www.thistledown.org.uk
