The programme, which ran from late spring to mid summer, featured a total of 15 scheduled garden openings and one garden which was open by appointment.

Of the gardens that opened in 2015, four were larger gardens which included musical entertainment, a raffle, plant stall and teas.

A further three gardens were afternoon group openings where a number of gardens in close proximity to each other offered visitors the chance to view various styles of garden.

Two were evening openings which offered wine and canapés for visitors to enjoy whilst relaxing in the late sunshine and another garden opened over a Sunday lunchtime, serving a two course meal with musical entertainment.
