Blooming marvelous! West Kington Open Garden Afternoon
Back by popular demand
– West Kington hosts its Open Garden Afternoon on Sunday 17 June 2012.West Kington has a reputation for some fabulous private gardens. And with good reason: the village is home to four garden designers, two landscape gardeners, a specialist topiary nursery, a wholesale plant nursery and a bevy of keen flower and veg enthusiasts.
Now you can get inspiration, and marvel at all their hard work as many of West Kington’s finest gardens open their gates to visitors on Sunday, 17 June from 1.30 – 5.30pm. Tickets are £5 per person with children under 16 welcomed free.
Breaking news! See the raffle details below!
Designed as a fund-raiser for the village’s beautiful St Mary the Virgin church, the Open Garden Afternoon also features a raffle in aid of Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
In addition to many wonderful gardens, some terraced, some newly planted and others situated beside the idyllic waters of Broadmead Brook, there will be a photographic exhibition on the village’s history.
Other highlights include home made cream teas, an impressive plant sale, a village produce stall, an ice cream parlour and a lemonade stand. And there is plenty of well-organised free parking.
