Nayland Open Gardens, 9th June

This annual event has been an important feature of the village calendar since 1978.

We are very grateful to all those who volunteer to open their gardens and our visitors are always delighted when new ones are included on the list. 

Report on Open Gardens 2012

Fifteen gardens of all sizes were on view in Nayland when the village conservation society held its open gardens afternoon on June 17.

The annual event, which began more than 35 years ago, attracted about 400 visitors and made about £2,500 profit.

Organiser Andora Carver said: "It was a lovely day and the gardens were looking glorious. People said how much they enjoyed touring them, often finding hidden views of our picturesque village."

Teas were served in the village hall and two plant and ice cream stalls did a brisk trade.

The afternoon's proceeds will go to local conservation projects, including the proposed book on the timber framed buildings of Nayland.
