Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sutton Bonington Gardens - Open Garden for NGS
All 3 gardens are located at the north end of the village, near St Michael's Church and just a few minutes' walk apart. Piecemeal has a tiny walled garden featuring a wide range of unusual shrubs, most in terracotta pots bordering narrow paths. Also climbers, perennials and even a few trees! Focus is on distinctive form, foliage shape and colour combination. Half-hardy and tender plants fill the conservatory. Forge Cottage garden, a little larger and reclaimed from a blacksmiths yard, has vibrant, curved herbaceous borders extending into a woodland path. 118 Main Street is a large garden with well established trees and varied planting as well as an orchard/wildflower meadow.
