It's a Wrap
A Plantsman's Garden
A Plantsman's Garden
This garden wraps round the house in a controlled riot. Wildlife pond, diddy ‘no dig’ kitchen garden, gravel garden and tall grassy borders filled to bursting with harmonious perennial planting.

A modest rear garden with a large apple tree surrounded by an extensive collection of plants in pots, some quite large or unusual. Definitely not a traditional low maintenance garden!

You won’t find vast acres here, just a homely, manageable, eclectic assortment of flowers, shrubs, soft fruit and vegetables. Look out for jokey plant labels, to make you smile.

A Brickyard Garden
East Bridgford Garden
A garden very much on 2 levels! The house and patios on the top level and a lower more secluded area 15 steps below with terracing, steps and a winding grass path down.
Against the Odds
This interesting and relaxing garden benefits from stunning established trees, these break it into separate areas and raise your eyeline so that the garden seems much bigger than it actually is.
A garden of two halves
The front garden has a woodland feel, surrounded by trees, hedges and climbers. The back is more a cottage garden with patio (very slippery when damp), pond and sprawling flower beds.
Longcroft
A secluded garden retreat in Straws Lane.
Uplands
Parterre gardens linked by a corridor of alliums, irises and agapanthus. A yew hedge separates the formal garden from the lawn where a variety of trees allow sunshine and shade throughout the day.
Appletree Cottage
Appletree Cottage
Set low down in the hollow created by the brickyard many years ago, the plot is divided up into many small gardens that wrap around the house creating a number of seating areas.

Nottinghamshire Hospice
Founded in 1980, Nottinghamshire Hospice is a community-based palliative care centre which provides high quality care services to adults who have terminal and life-limiting illnesses, and their families and carers.
All services are provided free of charge to patients and their loved ones. Each year Nottinghamshire Hospice needs to raise £4m to fund the services they are proud to provide to the Nottinghamshire community.
All the work of Nottinghamshire Hospice goes back to ‘Adding Life to Days’. They aim to improve the daily lives of people who have been told that their illness cannot be cured. They help people who are thought to be in their last year of life to live as actively and well as possible with care that puts the highest value on dignity, choice and respect.
Now, more than ever, they need your support to continue the ongoing work and launch new services to support our community in a time of crisis.
East Bridgford Village
In 1984, my family and I were looking for a home near to my new job in Radcliffe -on-Trent. I was driving over Gunthorpe Bridge on the way to a rugby match and saw a sign for East Bridgford.
Curious, I turned off and drove in just as the road-side daffodils and cherry blossom were in full bloom.
We moved in later that year and have now lived in this vibrant & beautiful village of just under 2000 residents for more than half of my lifetime.
However, it was only during a previous Open Gardens event that I discovered how many wonderful gardens there are here, some hidden from view.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy the same experience.

Chairman, East Bridgford Parish Council
