Climping set for biggest ever festival

Jude Sennitt will be among 20 to 30 gardeners welcoming visitors to admire their blooms on June 9 and 10 to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The biannual event dating back to the nineties has been expanded to a third day by its organising committee to mark the special year.

Committee member Carol Cashfield said she hoped the bigger than ever occasion would receive a warm welcome.

“We are trying to do something different this year,” she said.

“The open gardens are always popular.

“We get a lot of repeat visitors because we have been going for a while.
