Owner Alison Blythe has been opening her garden as part of the National Garden Scheme for the past five years and has raised thousands for causes including Rotary International.

This is the second of four openings this year and visitors are in for a ‘riot of colour’ with roses and a 10 foot sunflower blooming.

The garden has beautiful blue cedar trees and excellent specimen tulip tree. There is also a bog garden, natural pond and vegetable plot.
