This year there are 3 gardens new to the event and one that has been ‘resting’ for a few years.

Sizes vary from a small courtyard to extensive gardens with styles ranging from cottage garden, low maintenance and some with more formal features.

There will be free parking in the centre of Milton and at The Waterworks. Admission is £5.00 for adults, and accompanied children under 16 are free. (Some gardens do not allow dogs). Tickets are available on the day adjacent to the car park.

Expect to find trees, shrubs, lawns, flowers, vegetables and ponds – something for everyone, and all the gardens, in Milton and at The Waterworks, are within easy walking distance of each other.

There will be live music courtesy of Boss&CO with refreshments including homemade cakes available in the Village Hall, with Tombola, stalls and plants for sale on the grass opposite.
