Harlaston Open Gardens

 Harlaston is a small ancient village on the edge of the Mease Valley three miles from the Memorial Arboretum. It is recorded in the Doomsday Book and the church tower dates back to the 14th century.
Gardens open to visit include one attached to a traditional dairy farm where there are conducted tours to see milking and feeding the calves.
For the family apart from farm tours there are garden games and an I-spy quiz. There are stalls selling homemade cakes, bric-a-brac, books DVDs, plants and a tombola.
For the more energetic there is also a circular Garden Walk, 2.5miles, through fields, gentle slopes with good views across the Tame and Mease valley and taking in two of the gardens - walking boots or trainers strongly recommended.
