Local charity Wilmslow Wells for Africa is holding their annual Open Gardens Day fundraiser this month, providing a wonderful opportunity to stroll leisurely around different gardens and chat with proud owners.

Grazyna Moore said "You'll find new concepts, plants for sale at some, cream teas at others and most importantly whilst enjoying yourself in other folks' gardens, you'll be contributing to the welfare and health of struggling communities in Africa."

For over 30 years, the volunteer-run charity has been working successfully to provide sources of clean water in rural African communities with projects bringing much-needed relief for many drought-stricken areas all over the continent.

This June will be their 24th Open Gardens Day event which not only attracts interest from local residents but also from many who live further afield and travel to Wilmslow and Alderley Edge especially for the day to tour round the gorgeous gardens.

Grazyna added "There's truly something for everyone with gazillions of ideas to inspire - from wildlife havens, restful contemplative gardens, cottage gardens, meadows, formal contemporary and productive gardens with orchards and veg plots, you won't be disappointed."

The gardens are located throughout Wilmslow and Alderley Edge with light refreshments on sale at several of them. In addition, refreshments will be available at St John's Church Rooms on Knutsford Road as usual.

For the 2016 Gardens Day, 19 gardens can be visited between 10.30am – 4.30pm on Saturday June 25th. Three are brand new additions to the day, and seven are welcome returners after many year's absence.

Details of the gardens and how to buy tickets - £12 on the day, but £10 if bought in advance are available the charity's website, or phone 01625 522552 for further information.
