All the weavers' names went into a hat, and the lucky winner who was drawn on Sunday evening by one of our Churchwardens is Linda Wilks. Linda will soon be receiving a permanent reminder of the rows of weft she put in.<br />

<b>Garden Descriptions</b></h2>
<br />
<h3>
<b>Gardener's Cottage - No 5 School Lane</b></h3>
<br />
A long established garden didn't survive our remodelling of the old cottage, so a new garden was borne 10 years ago. It is an eclectic mix of everything we love, mostly raised from seed in the greenhouse, and includes more than our fair share of roses. Neither immaculate or even neat, it is a haphazard reflection of our higgledy-life and is our absolute haven. On the left is a small white garden in which, given our haphazard approach, bright orange giant poppies appear in the spring.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Beech Cottage No 3 School Lane</b></h3>
<br />
Beech Cottage was built in the 18th century and named after the 200-year-old Copper Beech situated at the entrance of the drive. Its partially walled, secluded cottage garden is overlooked by All Saints' Church and contains some surprising features with lots of colour and interest.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>The School House, School Lane</b></h3>
<br />
The School House was Loughton's original village school between 1865 and 1915. Its gardens are an interesting mix of shrubs and herbaceous plants in upper and lower areas that were originally part of a much larger design (see The Pool House description below).<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>The Pool House, School Lane (including plant stall)</b></h3>
<br />
We moved to this lovely home with our 3 children in May 2012. We inherited a mature garden designed by June and George Button, who built the large pond and gazebo and planted many of the beautiful trees and shrubs you will see as you wander around. Our latest developments are two ponds intended for fish and wildlife, so do take care of the new grass planting. Keep an eye out for foxes, herons, moorhens and many species of birds.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Manor Cottage, Leys Road (including specialist exhibits)</b></h3>
<br />
Approximately 400 years old, Manor Cottage is a Grade 2 listed building that has recently been extended, which required part of the garden to be replanned and replanted. The garden comprises extensive lawns and flower beds, which consist of old English country flowers such as lupins, fox gloves, iris and daisies. It has many mature fruit trees, magnolias, willows along the brook and an ancient poplar tree. There is also a paddock where chickens are kept.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>No 10, Lucy Lane</b></h3>
<br />
A backdrop of Parks Trust trees partially shades a shaped bordered sweep of lawn which is home to our New Zealand goat sculpture, whilst the Moroccan water feature trickles out beneath bamboo and ferns. Shingle pathways flank the sides of the house and faded marble stone paving provides two seating areas to view the garden at different angles.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>No 3 All Saints View</b></h3>
<br />
A medium-sized garden wrapped around a modern detached house, featuring formal hard landscaping and mixed borders that include mature shrubs, small trees and many roses. There is also a fishpond fed by a rill, a rockery, an idiosyncratic garden house and a vegetable garden of raised beds.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Church Farm (c. 1600) - Church Lane</b></h3>
<br />
The garden at Church Farm adjoins All Saints' Church, Loughton, towards the top of Church Lane, a traditional English sunken lane. The garden is entered through an iron gate between brick pillars. There are raised beds to one side filled with a variety of ornamental shrubs. Lawn fills the centre of the garden either side of the path. A large, aged pear tree is all that remains of an old fruit orchard. A wisteria is being encouraged across the face of the old farmhouse. The ancient tower of All Saints' Church rises over the garden. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>7 Lucy Lane - Loughton</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Julienne and Valerie welcome visitors to their pop-up studio at 7 Lucy Lane to view their collection of new work inspired by nature, diverse cultures and the passage of time. From vibrant colours that sing to tactile Saori weaving, prepare to be inspired.<br />
<br />
Julienne is planning to exhibit her extensive collection of 2015 Journal Quilts inspired by the fossil record, a pair of contemporary wall quilts based on magnolias, a pictorial quilt depicting magpies and a memory quilt that she made for her late mother, as well as a series of woven Saori banners, circle weavings depicting Elements and Seasons and an ongoing mixed media art project that explores the theme ‘Moth and Rust’. Weaving on a Saori loom will be demonstrated, and there will be an opportunity to contribute to a woven community banner that will be raffled at the close of the festival in aid of All Saints’ Church.<br />
<br />
<b>Studio on the Green - Loughton</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The Studio on the Green is an award winning building, in which Pam & John Walker make their own ceramics and artwork. It is a working pottery with some items for sale. <br />
<br />
Their ceramic work divides into two types: work thrown on the wheel by John and handmade figurative work by Pam. Each has a range of styles which is constantly evolving.<br />
<br />
Artwork is mainly watercolour paintings of people, animals and landscapes, including many inspired by visits to Africa, where Pam was born.
