This summer’s festival will be the thirteenth and it will showcase gardens from the past (where they are still available) as well as some new ones.
Many of the gardens have featured in magazines and on television and most of the garden owners will be present to talk about the ‘how-and-why’ of what they have achieved.
Cafes, raffles, sculpture and plant sales will again be part of the Festival.
