Charity Garden Opening raises £4,500 for The Royal Blind School

 

Elizabeth Turcan is Chairman of our Fife Committee, which recently raised £4,500 at a Charity Garden opening for the Royal Blind School. 

 

Robert and Elizabeth Turcan kindly opened up their fabulous garden to the public for the first time to raise money for our Charity. 

 

Sited on the banks of Lindores Loch, the garden opening included attractions such as: a dolls’ house treasure hunt, a silent auction of artwork from the Royal Blind School, a talk on the power of Plants and a demonstration of healthy family cooking.  A huge amount of work went into organising such a great event, on a beautiful day, that raised thousands for our charity. 

 

One of the attractions at the garden opening was a special dolls’ house treasure hunt.  The house is an exact replica of that owned by Robert and Elizabeth Turcan and has been treasured in the family for many years.  Pictured is Monica Campbell with the Doll’s house.

 

To the left Elizabeth Turcan is pictured preparing for the garden opening with gardener Alan Connolly.  A new woodland walk was opened to co-incide with the event.  The walk was created beside the loch, where osprey can be seen along with pochards, mallard ducks, tufted ducks, great crested grebes and golden eye and mute swans.
