Wingfield Hidden Gardens, Sunday 9 July 2023
The Parish Council is hoping to organise an afternoon where we can all explore and enjoy each other’s gardens! The exact size, scope, and nature of this event is dependent on interest received, but if successful we would hope to hold “The Hidden Gardens” annually, and to donate any proceeds to local charities.
This is definitely not a garden competition. It is very much an informal community-based event to allow people to share ideas, tips, and to gain inspiration from each other’s gardens….and just as importantly, to connect with others in the village.
We are not setting a ‘standard’ of garden required for the event, nor are we showcasing amazing gardens (although we know there are many out there!) Even if you just have a window box or a plant that you are willing for people to admire, or a garden that you have plans for in the future, then we would love you to allow others to share in it. We firmly believe that if you love your garden, whatever stage it is at, and are generous enough to share it, then people will appreciate it.
So….if you think you may be interested in opening your own garden for others to enjoy, or if you would like any further information about the proposed event, then please contact:

We would ask for any initial expressions of interest to be received by 28th Feb 2023, to allow us enough time to plan the event. There is no obligation at this stage whatsoever for those who express a wish to participate.
Thank you!
