AT LEAST 10 gardens will be opened to the public on Sunday, July 3, as part of the National Garden Scheme open day in Swallowfield.
People will be able to admire the handiwork of people who live in the village and are members of its horticultural community.
Most of the gardens will be within walking distance of each other, while some will be accessible by car as they are on the edges of the village.
The gardens will be open from 2pm to 5.30pm, with homemade cream teas available at The Brambles. Entry is £8, children get in free, with proceeds going to charity.
