Two Fenland gardens will open to the public this month to raise money for charity.
Elgood’s Brewery Garden in North Brink, Wisbech and Beaver Lodge on Henson Road, March, are opening in aid of the National Garden Scheme.
Behind the 200-year-old Elgood’s brewery is a four-acre garden with many old trees, herbaceous borders and lake. Lawns lead down to a tall maze, planted with laurel and thuja. Also to be explored is an exotic house, rockeries and herb garden.
It opens on Sunday August 5 from 11.30am to 4.30pm. Entry costs £4.
Meanwhile Beaver Lodge, a small town garden packed with bonsai, oriental statues, acers and water features, opens on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 August from 10.30am to 4pm. Entry costs £3.
The National Garden Scheme opens gardens in England and Wales for charity. It was founded in 1927 in England with the aim of “opening gardens of quality, character and interest to the public for charity”.
