VISITORS FROM throughout the state show their true colours by supporting the unique open garden of Culzean in Westbury.

Over 800 people enjoyed the autumn display with comments such as ‘this garden is of a better standard then many National Trust gardens in the UK’.

Gratitude was expressed to Dinah FitzGerald and Philip Leith for their dedication to developing and progressing this garden for future generations.

Visitors on the day meandered around the lake and through the woodland, enjoying all its autumn glory.

The day was fun, friendly and interesting with local craftspeople demonstrating their skills and wares in willow weaving, felting, spinning, garden furniture making, art and local produce.

The plant stall was a major attraction drawing many dedicated gardeners.

Thanks to the support of Westbury Rotary Club and hard work from numerous volunteers, the day was a truly special event.

All money raised was in aid of the Westbury Community Health Centre.
