See 5 contrasting gardens a close walk from each other around Preston Park for £5. The gardens are at 30 and 31 Preston Park Avenue (the pink steps are on the cover of the brochure!), Preston Manor’s Walled Garden, as well as 24 and 32 Clermont Terrace. Opening days are Friday and Saturday 9 and 10 June from 11am to 5pm.

Teas will be served and tickets available at 31 Preston Park Avenue and 32 Clermont Terrace. All proceeds go to the nursing and caring charities that the NGS support such as Parkinson’s UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.

See how domestic gardens, all on a slope, all with a chalky soil are each given a very different look.
