The sun shone on the 3,000 green fingered revellers at the 19th annual gardeners’ fair held at Burton Agnes Hall last weekend.
Over £1,000 was raised for the National Gardens Scheme through ticket sales, and visitors enjoyed the many stalls on offer.
Anna Tindall, marketing manager at the hall, said: “This year’s event was really well attended. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day.
“We raise money for the scheme as it goes back to when Susan Cunliffe-Lister used to do it and we just feel like we want to give something back.
“The event has grown year on year.”
Over the weekend of Saturday 8 to Sunday 9 June there were talks by Jeremy Palmer and Susan Cunliffe-Lister of Burton Agnes Hall, and Steve Wright, who runs gardening courses in Yorkshire.
Each ticket sold saw 50 pence going towards the National Gardens Scheme, which raises money by opening gardens to the public, and gives away over £2.5 million each year to nursing, caring and gardening charities.
