Brenda King was also pleased by the news: “So glad, was thinking how rundown it looks from the outside every time we drive by.”

In years gone by Leonardslee hosted various events and Sally Lerwill made a good point: “Fab news, bring back the craft fairs too, please.”

There’s no timetable announced yet as to when the gardens might re-open but, judging from the many positive comments, there will be no shortage of people interested in visiting.
