I’m Juliette and I’m the person conducting all the interviews that are being edited for the book. One of the themes of ‘Garden Tales‘ is a celebration of the lives of all the people involved with Fanshawe Gate Hall garden and the Open Days. I’m undertaking the task of interviewing these people. It has come to light that in total, there are 46 volunteers, who put their time and services into the garden at Fanshawe Gate Hall and of course Open Days. The garden is the backdrop, the meeting place that has brought them all together.
I have now carried out 31 of the interviews with various people who are involved. They range from kitchen helpers on the Open Days, to gardeners, people who run stalls and visitors to the garden.
I had the pleasure of going up to an Open Day yesterday, and meeting and interviewing Clare and Louise Third- both volunteers there. Both were very interesting to talk to. Even in the kitchen, amongst the hustle and bustle, the Wimbledon mens final was being watched on the television with keen tennis fans crowded around the screen.
With the weather staying reasonably fine yesterday, there was a great turnout of visitors to the garden, all helping to contribute to various charities and the National Garden Scheme.
