Charity Open Gardens at Langrick Grange & Frog Hall Cottage and plant centre – with home made teas at Langrick Grange - Sunday 28 June 2–5pm
Admission £3 includes both gardens, children under 16 free
Langrick Grange – (first time this garden has been open to the public) - 3 acres mostly of formal gardens, created in keeping with the Regency Period of the Grange with garden rooms of yew hedging. Vistas seen from the house draw the eye to focal points and on to the magnificent views of parkland beyond. Walk the lime tree avenue, meander through the shrubbery. Winding paths of the ‘fernery’ break away from the formality of herbaceous borders creating change and adventure!
