Our annual open gardens day was on Sunday, June 26 2011, when many gardens in Theydon Bois were open for visitors to admire. Mrs Laing, who visited many of the gardens with her son, Matthew, said: "The open gardens day is now a firm fixture in the village's social calendar with people coming from some distance to view the gardens.
"This was the 31st year that the event has been held and I would like to congratulate the organisers (Theydon Youth with the continued support of the Village Association) and in particular the green-fingered gardeners who make this fabulous event possible."

Found: 1 jacket, 1 pair spectacles, 1 notebook
Lost: 1 husband!The sunny weather encouraged around 1200 people to visit the gardens on a Sunday June – and one gardener reported 1100 of them had visited her garden, fortunately not all at once. People who have lived in the village for years remarked that they had never seen so many cars on the Green (this was before the Donkey Derby which saw a similar number of cars).
It was a great day and our sincere thanks go to all those involved. Special thanks to the gardeners of course who work so hard to make their gardens special and thanks too to all those helpers without whom we could just not run the day. Profit for the day was over £5,700.
And the lost husband? Well we never heard the end of that story; he got separated from his wife in the Great Gregories area. We saw the somewhat miffed wife at the Village Hall as we were clearing up and one of our minibus drivers took her round the village to look for her husband and finally to the station without him - we can only hope they were
re-united at home.We trust we can again arrange a very pleasant day in 2011 when you visit.
