Goathland to revive open gardens day for first time since 1990s

Goathland is set to welcome visitors as the village revives its Open Gardens day for the first time since the 1990s.

Taking place on Saturday June 21, the event will offer an opportunity to explore nine normally private gardens.

The event is being co-hosted with the Goathland Nature Group, with a particular focus on wildlife-friendly gardening.

Visitors will be able to pick up advice and ideas throughout several of the gardens, as well as at the village hall, where information stalls and members of the group will be on hand to share their expertise.

The cost is £5 per person, under 16s free.

Visitors should note that dogs are not permitted in the gardens, with the exception of guide dogs, and only at the discretion of individual garden owners.
