Nine village gardens, normally hidden from the public, are to be opened on Sunday June 18.

A spokesman said: “It’s the perfect way to spend Father’s Day - enjoying other’s gardens - without having a do any gardening yourself!

“Great for families, young and old alike, come and get inspired - or just relax!”
