BRIZE NORTON OPEN GARDENS
|
We elected to Open our gardens under the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) in 2024 on Sunday 23rd June from 1 pm to 6 pm. The charge will be £7.50 per adult which covers all the gardens flagged on the right as open in 2024 (children go free). There will be ten gardens open (tbc) plus the Church with its Flower Festival. Teas and cakes will be available from the Village Hall and from Grange Farm. Free parking will be available. Several of the houses may have plants for sale.
The proceeds from
the Open Day goes to NGS charities including MacMillan,
Marie Curie, Hospice UK (see below) and to local
charities. In 2023 £858.27 went to the NGS and £534.31
went to local four village
charities plus a sum allocated to plant a tree for the
late Queen's Platnum Jubilee.
