Friends of Castle Parks chairman Jackie Kaines Lang said: “Open Gardens is a real community event and an opportunity to have a peek at gardens you wouldn’t usually see. There’s always plenty of sharing thoughts and tips on gardening, as well as catching up over a cuppa and cake in various gardens.

“We have several new gardens this year and we are so grateful to the owners who open for visitors. The variety of gardens – some formal, others more relaxed and some works in progress – offers something for everyone.”

Parks Officer Kate Dixon and volunteers will be in Castle Vale Park to point visitors in the right direction, give up-to-date information and provide tickets and trail maps.
