Woodend, near Towcester, Northamptonshire Sorry - this 2020 event has had to be CANCELLED 2.00pm to 6.00pm
Virtual Open Gardens
In view of some of the difficulties opening the gardens this year, Blakesley Village and Woodend Village have decided to offer a 'Virtual Opening' of the gardens and of Blakesley arboretum. The arboretum will be open, in reality, for all its autumn glory on Sunday Oct 18th 2.00pm to 4.00pm with the usual cakes, produce and teas.
Meanwhile all of the gardens pictured can be enjoyed by accessing Blakesley's website (see below) - click on Village Life / Open Gardens. Donations in aid of the upkeep of St. Mary's church in Blakesley would be very gratefully received, especially as no church fetes have taken place either. Donation information is on the website.
Otherwise we hope that you can join us at the arboretum in October when, all being well, things will be nearer to normal. Any queries, please contact Charlotte Halford 01327 860 456.
