Sunday June 11, 11am – 5pm, is the day for Iden Open Gardens. It is only every other year that this event gives you the chance to take a peek behind the hedges of this pretty village. From the wild to the immaculate, there are a dozen varied gardens to enjoy and we are opening earlier this year to enable you to complete the full set! Gardens evolve over the years, if you have visited before there will be new features to spot and old favourites to enjoy.
There is parking in the centre of the village for those who wish to spend the day “on safari” and there is also parking provision at the gardens on the village outskirts for those who would prefer to enjoy the day at an easier pace.
There will be maps in the village centre and tickets are available at any participating garden for only £5 for adults and children go free. Look out for the yellow flags which indicate the garden is open. This event is to raise funds for All Saints Church, currently undergoing expensive repairs to the tower.
