Leicestershire National Garden Scheme Open Gardens September
There are two gardens opening in Leicestershire during September with some lovely seasonal colour and planting.
Westview in Great Glen LE8 9EH opens on 14th and 15th September from 11am to 4pm. An organically managed garden with many rare and unusual plants, a courtyard garden, small pond, many summer perennials and quirky ornaments made from recycled materials.
On the 21st St Wolstan’s House, pictured above, Wigston L18 3RA has an evening opening from 6.30 to 9pm. About half an acre of garden divided into rooms with formal and informal planting which includes a white garden, rose garden, sunken Italian garden, rose and wisteria pergola, an Edwardian conservatory and many raised beds. There will be light refreshments.
Thanks to the generosity of our garden owners and visitors the National Garden Scheme donated a record of £3,403,960 to some of the UK best-loved nursing and health charities, which included £76,000 raised by Leicestershire.
