Blandford’s Hidden Gardens is an opportunity to explore not only a variety of interesting gardens but also some rarely-seen areas of the town itself.

This is the 16th year that owners have opened their gardens to share their secrets with the public in support of local and national charities and community organisations.

The gardens range in size from courtyard to expansive and from all ages from Georgian to contemporary – some with sculptures, ponds, wildlife havens, all with a wide variety of plants and some with refreshments on sale.

Tickets are £7.50, which covers entry to all the participating gardens, and will be on sale from May 21 at the Information Centre and the Town Museum.

For more information please visit the Open Gardens website, or email blandfordhiddengardens@gmail.com to enter your garden.
