Volunteers behind a Dumfriesshire community garden which has its grand opening on Sunday have had an Absolutely Fabulous boost.
Dame Joanna Lumley and her musician and conductor husband, Stephen Barlow, paid a visit at the weekend to see how the Bridgend Community Gardens – created on a disused tennis court at the edge of Penpont – has come on.
The actress and TV presenter, who is well known in Mid Nithsdale where she has a home, previously visited earlier in the year to get a sneak preview and prior commitments means she won’t be able to officially open it on Sunday when the volunteers are inviting the public in from 3pm to 6pm.
