GARDENS LARGE AND SMALL, PLANTS, SECONDHAND GARDEN & WILDLIFE BOOKS, TEAS
Kennington’s
green-fingered gardeners will have a varied range of gardens for you to
enjoy on what we hope will be a lovely day on which to celebrate
summer. Of course, open gardens also means tea and cakes and a great
atmosphere in the village.Help us build a LIBRARY FOR ALL in Mumias West, Kenya
All the money raised will be donated to The Nasio Trust,
the Abingdon-based charity which supports a community in rural Western
Kenya. The money will be ear-marked for the building of a community library
in Mumias County, with the aim of instilling a love of reading in the
local children and promoting literacy in the wider community.How to get your ticket
