What a wonderful afternoon we had at our first Annual Community Garden Party!

We were delighted to welcome so many fantastic stallholders, and it was a pleasure to meet each and every one of them.
The afternoon was made even more special with a wonderful performance from The New Century Singers, followed by some amazing saxophonists.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. We were thrilled to welcome around 200 people and are delighted to have raised almost £500 for PPT Church, Friends of Bovey Library, and the Bovey Fire Service.
Thank you all for your generosity and support of these wonderful local causes, and for helping to make our first Annual Community Garden Party such a great success. We look forward to seeing you all again next year! 🌿
