The Sponsored Walk is an easy 3 mile stroll starting and finishing at West Green House Gardens, near Hartley Whitney in Hampshire, allowing time to visit the lake and gardens at the end of the walk. The route is suitable for all terrain buggies. Dogs are welcome but should be kept on leads. Owners are asked to tidy up and use the special bins provided.
These long neglected West Green House Gardens have been lovingly restored by internationally acclaimed gardener and author, Marylyn Abbott. Today the gardens, surrounded by their neo-classical park studded with follies, birdcages and monuments and its reclaimed lake, provide a glorious backdrop to one of the most spectacular garden creations of recent times - so much so that it has received the ultimate accolade of the two star rating from Britain's Good Garden Guide. West Green Garden and Marylyn have also been the subject of the first BBC Gardener's World devoted solely to one garden. More details can be obtained from the website http://www.westgreenhousegardens.co.uk.
On 23rd April, the Lake Field should be clothed in a succession of flowering snowdrops, daffodils and fritillaries with bursts of species tulips emerging in imaginative colour displays. Discover this wild area and its follies, and hopefully see the breathtaking tulip displays in the walled garden. The entry fee to the lake field during April is £3.00. However if the Gardens are open on the 23rd April, the usual entry fee of £5.00 will be reduced to £3.00 on presentation of this sponsored walk form

UK
grant enables LRBT doctors to remove a brass nail from a child ’s
eye
Her father, Abdul, took her to a senior eye consultant, who discovered that there was something in Nida’s eye. The cost to remove it was £800, without guarantee that Nida would regain her sight. Abdul, a carpenter, earning about £60 per month, was devastated. Abdul was then told about LRBT, and so Nida was taken to the Karachi hospital. She was examined by the Chief Ophthalmologist who used equipment provided by The UK Community Fund. He discovered that the object was a bent brass nail. They were able to remove the nail and save her eye. Her family were very grateful for the care at LRBT, recognising that the care she received was both free and the best available. Without the treatment, she would have had to have her eye removed. But now she has kept her sight, and has every opportunity to make the most of her life.” |
