Glen Chantry gardens in Wickham Bishops will be open to the public for the final time on Monday, August 31.

Wol and Sue Staines are retiring after 20 years of opening their gardens for charity.

The last open day runs from 2pm until 5pm and is in aid of the RSPB. Stalls selling bric-a-brac, framed prints, RSPB goods, and home-made cakes and afternoon tea will also feature.

Regular visitor Mike Logan Wood said: “The main reason for this last visit is to bid farewell to the magnificent herbaceous borders and to celebrate the flare and passion for plants of these acclaimed gardeners. It is truly the end of an era.”
