Keen gardeners will be showing off their green-fingered talents as they take part in the annual Porlock Open Gardens Weekend on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July. The gardens will be open from 2.00 – 6.00pm, giving visitors the chance to explore twenty gardens of all styles and sizes in Porlock village. Visitors can enjoy refreshments, purchase plants and discover new gardens which would not typically be open to the public.
There will be a wonderful variety of gardens, including large wild gardens and gardens featuring unusual trees and shrubs. You can also view terraced gardens, gardens with ponds, water features, and some with stunning views over the sea and moorland. There’s also the opportunity to visit the many unique shops, pubs and tearooms in Porlock.
Maps have been kindly sponsored by Eduardo’s Pizzeria and Richard Little Family Butchers. Proceeds from the event will go towards the running of Porlock Information Centre.
Weekend tickets cost £8.00 per person – sorry, but no dogs are permitted – and are available from Porlock Information Centre, Spar and Porlock Home and Hardware. For more information, call 01643 863150 or email: Enquiries@porlock.co.uk
