Twelve gardens across Kenilworth are set to open their gates to the public on Sunday (18 June) as part of a nationwide event.

National Garden Scheme will see gardens across the UK welcome locals to see the handiwork of the country's keenest gardeners.

In Kenilworth there will be a wide variety of different gardens to enjoy including the community garden in Talisman Square.

There will be plant sales at several gardens and homemade teas at St Nicholas Church Hall.

Combined admission is £7 for adults (children are free) and dogs on short leads are welcome.

The gardens will be open from 12noon-5.30pm.

The National Garden Scheme website says "The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, and raises impressive amounts of money for nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake.

"Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors we have donated over £67 million to nursing and health charities and in 2022 made an annual donation of £3.11 million. Our core beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen's Nursing Institute.

"The National Garden Scheme doesn't just open beautiful gardens for charity – we are passionate about the physical and mental health benefits of gardens too. We also support charities doing amazing work in gardens and health and grant bursaries to help community gardening projects."
