Art In the Garden Raises fund for John Nicholson Foundation - June 2018

A GARDEN OPEN DAY raised funds for The John Nicholson Foundation. This is an ‘arts-related’ charity (of the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann).

The Garden Open Day was held at the home of Rotarian Mike Ingram in Surby.


On display were a variety of art works around the garden, in nooks and crannies, under gazebos, and outside. 

Visitors were encouraged to explore the garden and small wood to discover the exhibits, as well as enjoying the garden.
