"Across the country this year, thousands of gardens will be open, supporting their good work, and we are playing a small part, along with three other gardens here at our village in Eden Bishop. So you don't just get to see our garden, you get to see some of our fine neighbours' examples as well. There's tea and cake, so if you want to join in and come and see us, it's next Sunday, the 18th of May. Details are on the NGS website."

He finished: "Fingers crossed we'll see you then, and they do say that the weather is going to be like this. Where else would you fancy a cup of tea and a slice of something naughty?"
