POSTPONED TO WEDNEDSDAY !!
Due to the recent heavy rain, accessing Woodleigh Garden has become difficult, impacting car entry and parking. To ensure a smoother experience for everyone, we have decided to postpone the event until conditions improve.
Woodleigh Garden will be open for a special viewing of its beautiful bearded irises on Wednesday, 6th November, as part of a fundraiser to support our Youth programs. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the stunning garden, spend time with friends and family, and contribute to a great cause.
Rotary has several programmes that support and encourage local youth in leadership, science, and personal development. Half of the proceeds will go to this cause.
*This year will also help fund singer Cecily Shaw as she completes a Masterβs in opera at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
Woodleigh has been the Vickers family home for 50 years. It displays their lifetime of gardening, particularly their collection of Bearded Iris. The garden surrounds a Chapman Taylor home built in 1911 in the design style of the Arts and Crafts movement.
