The generous owner of the garden at 2 Hillside Cottage, Low Etherley, has once again agreed to support the Bishop Auckland Fundraising Group of Marie Curie by opening her garden to support this worthy charity.
In this half acre mature cottage garden, grass paths lead past a variety of beds filled with shrubs, grasses, perennials and trees, (both native and exotic), to a wilderness area with pool and wild flowers.
A greenhouse with a collection of cacti and succulents, together with vegetable beds and mature fruit trees complement a large landscaped pond planted for wildlife.
The magnificent views over Weardale and the surrounding countryside can be seen from the vantage of the many seating areas scattered throughout the garden whilst enjoying delicious cakes and savouries.
The garden will be open to the public on Sunday, 17 August, from 1pm until 4pm. Entry is £5 for adults and children can go along for free.
Please note there is no parking on site. All proceeds will be donated to the Bishop Auckland Fundraising Group of Marie Curie.
The Group meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 1.30pm in St Mary’s Church on Woodhouse Lane.
New members are always welcome and if you would like to know more, contact Elizabeth Varley on 01388 606075.
