The viewings were made by the committee just as COVID-19 loomed into view.
"With the lock down on the horizon, our intrepid garden selection team, Ray Jackson, Anne Jackson, Louise Gibbs and Ian McFaul, acted quickly to visit and view the local gardens and meet with the owners," said organiser Annette Hill.
