Bardwell Open Gardens 

Sunday 16th June 2013

1.30pm – 6.30pm 

One of the favourite ways of enjoying the British Summer,  is visiting and meandering through the unique, private gardens that open – often just for one day – in aid of a range of good causes across many of our towns and villages.  

On Sunday 16th June 2013, from 1.30pm – 6.30pm, visitors will have the opportunity to explore  fourteen varied gardens in the village of Bardwell, Suffolk which include an unusual collection of sempervivum, agave and other succulents; wildflower meadows full of early purple and bee orchids, whilst one of the gardens appears capable of feeding the whole village!.  There is the intoxicating fragrance of rosa rugosa in full bloom, and irises which are just blooming as a result of the late spring and so will be at their very best on the day.

Start at The Tithe Barn (Bardwell’s Village Hall), Up Street, Bardwell, Suffolk IP31 1AA, where maps and printed guides are available for £3.00 per person (accompanied children under 16 yrs free).

Parking Available on The Village Green.

Tea and delicious cakes will be for sale at various gardens.

Come rain or shine:  Everyone is assured a warm welcome at all of Bardwell’s Open Gardens.

This event is being organised by the Friends of Bardwell Church, whose objective is  to preserve the fabric of the village church of St Peter and St Paul, in as good a state of repair as possible.
