Two Wiltshire gardens are set to open to the public this weekend, offering a peek into their beautifully curated landscapes.
Conock Manor, located in Devizes, will welcome visitors on Saturday, April 25, from 2pm to 4pm.
This family garden, embracing 18th-century architecture, is defined by its long, south-facing wall and features a variety of elements such as lawns, wildflower meadows, mixed borders, climbers, a magnolia grove, and a vegetable garden.
The garden, which is evolving under the stewardship of Pip Morrison, is designed to sit comfortably in the surrounding wooded parkland, with views of the Alton Barnes chalk-horse.
Entry is £8 for adults, with children entering for free.
Visitors can book in advance or pay on the day.
Tea, coffee, cold drinks, and cakes will be available for refreshments.
On Sunday, April 26, Fonthill House in Tisbury will open its gates from 12pm to 5pm.
The gardens, which have been extensively redeveloped under the direction of Tania Compton and Marie-Louise Agius, offer woodland walks with daffodils, rhododendrons, azaleas, shrubs, and bulbs, along with formal gardens.
The William Pye fountain and other sculptures add to the charm of the place.
Entry to Fonthill House is £10 for adults, with children entering for free.
Visitors can choose to book in advance or pay on the day.
Light refreshments, including sandwiches, quiches, cakes, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and wine, will be available.
Both gardens are part of the National Garden Scheme, which opens beautiful gardens for charity.
The gardens offer a chance to explore breath-taking landscapes while contributing to a good cause.
