Garden scheme restarts in Lincolnshire with timed bookings

With lockdown easing in stages, a number of garden owners are beginning to open the horticultural havens in aid of the National Gardens Scheme (NGS).

The change in the way these ‘Yellow Book’ open days are run is the need to book your visit.

One of those opening this Sunday afternoon, June 28, is Ludney House Farm, at Ludney near Louth.

This beautifully landscaped garden has several defined spaces, containing formal and informal areas.

There is an excellent mix of trees, shrubs, perennials and roses, as well as a long wild grass area, which is home to the bee hives.

Also opening further afield in Lincolnshire this weekend are Aswarby Park, Sleaford, (noon to 4pm) and, for the first time in aid of the NGS charities, Wildwood at Aisby near Grantham (11am to 5pm).

All garden visitors must pre-purchase tickets on the website for a timed slot at their garden of choice.

The numbers of visitors per timed slot will vary from garden to garden, depending on size.

All funds raised will go to the charity’s Help Support Our Nurses campaign
