Histon and Impington, near Cambridge
Sunday 16th June 2024
12.00noon to 6.00pm

The delightful neighbouring Cambridgeshire villages of Histon and Impington will be opening their gardens, with a wonderful selection of gardens of all shapes and sizes. From huge manor houses to the tiniest of plots, through Victorian terraces and modern designs, there will be something for everyone.

Peep behind the tall garden walls of an old manor house, in the bustling centre of the village, to discover a calm oasis with resident ducks. Hear about local history from the Village Society, while admiring gorgeous perennial borders. Get inspiration from amazing vegetable gardens and sumptuous cottage gardens worthy of glossy magazines. Discover woodlands, ponds galore, and sensory garden and even a moat. Learn how to welcome wildlife into your garden or walk barefoot in the maze.

A particular highlight is the chance to hear live music by local musicians - check website for times and locations.

Enjoy tea, coffee and cake in several gardens.
