      Not far from Walsall it's Sutton Coldfield / Erdington. The area is New Oscott.

      Her ( Mel's ) garden as been entered into the "Garden in Bloom" competition to be judged in September. I hope she wins something she really as worked so hard.
      They have other garden areas, "The secret garden" with all things from their pasts .A herb and veg plot and many beautiful colourful pots all over . I'll try to get some more photos.
