Barbara Molesworth from Byeways in Whittington near Oswestry opened her garden to the public at the weekend to raise money for Save the Children. Barbara will be opening her garden again along with others in Daisy Lane including Birch House and Graystones on June 18 and 19 from 12noon to 5pm, as part of the National Gardens Scheme, 'Gardens Open for Charity'.

The house owners will be opening their garden gates to raise money for Save the Children.
