Mary's birthday present to the walled gardens

Mary Noble, who has rooted for us since we started work on our lost gardens, brought us in this fantastic surprise at the beginning of the month. When we first started, Mary used to help us by baking cakes to sell in the tearoom which was then, just a shed. She still helps us by volunteering and bringing friends round the gardens. I hope she will forgive me putting her on our blog. Thank you Mary for all your support and for this fantastic memento of the last ten years!
