A total of 25 gardens will take part in Purton Open Gardens on July 14 and 15 between 11am and 6pm. There will be a photo spotter competition with a prize for whoever identifies the most photos, which are all views of participating gardens.

Several gardens will be offering refreshments with tea, cakes and cream teas on sale, with the proceeds going to charities of the gardener’s choice. Ploughman’s lunch will be served in the Silver Threads Hall between noon and 2.30pm on the Saturday.
