A Summer Garden Day

Sunday 16 August, 1-5pm

Rosebank, Jarvis Lane, Steyning BN44 3GL

Come and enjoy a home-made cream tea, pick up a bargain at the plant stall and enjoy the display of expert art and sculpture at our special Summer Garden Day.

You will also be able to find answers to awkward gardening issues from our panel of highly respected gardeners and horticulturalists. All funds raised will go towards essential repairs for the Church and to improve it as a venue for community events.

Rosebank – Garden & Steps

The panel of expert gardeners for “Ask the Gardener” will be chaired by Elisabeth Harden of Steyning in Bloom. Also on the panel will be Alex Bell, designer of the Rosebank garden and many more; Lynne Broome of the Steyning Gardening Society; along with highly knowledgeable and keen gardeners, Debbie Chalmers and Sue Reed. This part of the afternoon starts at 2pm in the Steyning Centre’s Saxon Room, located two minutes’ walk from Rosebank.

“Questions for the panel can be submitted in advance (email friends@friendsofspc.org) although it will be an informal and spontaneous event so the panel will welcome further questions,” explains Sarah Leigh, host of the event and the Church historian.

“We would also be delighted to receive any plants you may wish to donate for our stall. If so, please bring them to Rosebank from 10 August and leave them in the greenhouse. Be sure to label them and leave a note saying what you have donated.”

Artwork on display will include recent works by professional artist, Suzy Barnard, and paintings of the Church by Elisabeth Harden.  There will also be a short informal talk about a huge sculpture by Terry New which resides at Rosebank, while Penny Reeve will explain how she was inspired to create Cuthman, the sculpture opposite the Church
