The Paddocks, owned by Michael and Helen Martin, and the Old Post House, owned by Bob and Val Rawlinson, both in Main Street, Hungarton, are new to the National Gardens for Charity (NGS) scheme.

Both gardens will be open on June 9 and 10 for a fee of £3.50.

Coffee, light lunches and afternoon teas will be available in Hungarton Village Hall in aid of LOROS hospice.

The scheme highlights private gardens across the country which are open to the public for just a few days a year.

Funds raised will go to the NGS, which gives cash each year to nursing, caring and gardening charities.

The gardens will be open from 11am to 5pm each day.
