JUDY Berrow was the guest speaker at the October 5 meeting.

She told how she and her husband, John, moved from Stratford in 1990 to purchase a barn for conversion behind St Cassian's Church, Chaddesley Corbett.

They have turned a one-acre site in to a garden full of flowering trees, an orchard of fruit trees, and pond and lots of wildlife, including ducks.

Mrs Berrow interspersed her talk with slides of "before and after".
