Cottage gardens bursting with blooms, vegetable plots and hall grounds on show at Parwich Open Gardens
Beautiful White Peak village sees green-fingered residents sharing their passion for planting
As summer days reach their zenith, and the natural world once again gives cause to celebrate its splendours, it’s worth making tracks to Parwich Open Gardens on Sunday 21 June.
Between 1pm and 6pm, this beautiful White Peak village sees green-fingered residents sharing their passion for planting, propagating and promoting biodiversity. From cottage gardens bursting with blooms, and vegetable plots with ripening produce, to the formal grounds of Parwich Hall there’s colour and inspiration behind every gate. Plus, thanks to projects supported by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust and Derbyshire Swift Conservation, birds, bats, bees and butterflies are being encouraged within both private gardens and communal spaces.
Visiting gardens can be hungry work, so cream teas will be served at the Memorial Hall between 2pm and 5pm, with locally grown plants also on sale to add to your own borders and containers.
Tickets for Parwich Open Gardens cost £5 per adult, with under 16s free, and are available to purchase on the day at the Memorial Hall. This is a fundraising event and monies raised enable donations to be made to other village organisations including the Community First Responders, Parwich Carnival Committee, and St Peter’s Church.
Getting there: Parwich is located between Ashbourne and Bakewell. Free car parking is available within the village.
