GOOSTREY Open Gardens is returning for the third year this summer.
So far, enthusiastic gardeners have raised more than £26,000 for East Cheshire Hospice and other charities.
This year’s event will be held on Sunday, June 9, from 11am to 5pm.
Ten new gardens will be welcoming visitors along with a further five from last year.
The gardens range in size and style and can be discovered on the pleasant walk around Goostrey, Cranage and Blackden villages.
Gardeners are happy to share their expert advice on acer growing, viticulture, champion gooseberry growing, selecting herbs for wellbeing and how to attract more wildlife.
A charity plant sale will be back again on the Bogbean, Goostrey’s village green.
Other attractions will include ice cream from Bidlea Dairy, a Goostrey Flower Club display and Clementine, the mobile horsebox bar from the Space Invader Pub.
Refreshments will also be available in many of the gardens.
Early bird tickets priced £10 per adult will be available until May 20, when the ticket price will rise to £14 per adult.
Accompanied children can view the gardens free of charge.
Tickets are available online at eastcheshirehospice.org.uk A limited amount of printed tickets and accompanying brochures are available from The Trading Post or Goostrey Mini Market in Goostrey.
