Charfield is repeating its successful 2010 Charfield Village Garden opening with an eclectic mix of six gardens from small plots to grand acres opening their gates on the Sunday & Monday Late Spring Bank Holiday. There is sure to be something for everyone even if you are not green fingered! Enjoy a stroll round the village, take the opportunity to do more than look over the garden fence, have a cup of tea and a sustaining slice of homemade cake in the village hall while supporting the charities of the National Garden Scheme.
Two families are opening their gardens for the first time and we have old favourites opening too. See what the new ones have to offer and how the others have progressed. There will even be the opportunity to buy some of the plants that you see and admire in the gardens.
For the more energetic, you can visit all the gardens with a long walk but those of you who aren’t in training for the Olympics there will be convenient parking down at the village hall where 4 gardens are situated nearby; 10 Station Road, Warners Court, The Urn Cottage and The Paddock. Two of the gardens, the Old Rectory and Pemberley Lodge, are next door to each other in Churchend Lane at the top of the village and there will be separate parking for these gardens. The Old Rectory is encouraging visitors to picnic on the lawns.
The gardens are open on 3rd and 4th June 2012 (Sunday & Monday) from 1pm to 6 pm and entry is £6.00 an adult with children going free.
