Sunday’s were the first in a series of open gardens for charity.
Secretary of the society Nancy Brock said: “We have a variety of gardens. Ours is pretty rough and ready. It’s a lovely opportunity to pinch some ideas from other people about what to do with your garden.”
The horticultural society is hosting more events at the following locations from 2-5pm.
