It's been a great day - despite the frequent downpours (thank goodness for the polytunnel) and everyone seems to have a good time. Marvin from Muddy Fingers Pottery was superb and both adults and children alike loved making clay impressions of leaves and flowers from around the garden to form our new welcome sign.
The garden was officially opened by our local MP, Dave Anderson at 2pm and by 4pm all the lavender shortbread, homemade lemonade and rosemary biscuits had disappeared and it was time to go.
Here's a selection of pictures from today and thanks to all the friends and neighbours who turned out to show their support. This will be the last post for a few weeks as we're taking a well-earned break :)

Lauren keeps an eye on Lavender, the Hop Garden's mascot, who had a great time digging, eating and being stroked.
Blackboard signs helped visitors to find their way around the garden (above and below).
The clay words are taking shape.

Everyone wants to get their hands dirty to help out with the sign making.
