More than 20 people visited the garden at Tresillian House on Dalby Road.

It was the second time this year that property owner Alison Blythe had opened her garden to the public, with entrance fees and the sale of plants and refreshments going to National Gardens Scheme.

Points of interest for visitors included beautiful cedar trees, sumptuous roses, excellent specimen tulip trees and a colourful vegetable plot.
