A COTTAGE in Stock Green will be opening its garden gates to the public in July as part of the National Open Gardens Scheme.

White Cottage on Earls Common Road in Stock Green is opening as part of the scheme on Sunday, July 10 from 11am to 4.30pm, so that visitors can get a rare chance to take a look inside.

The garden features two acres of land with areas of wild flowers, scenic woodland, and herbaceous borders to enjoy, and visitors will also be able to take advantage of a plant sale while teas and refreshments will be on offer.

Admission to the garden is £4 for adults and free for children. For more information on the garden at White Cottage or the scheme itself, visit ngs.org.uk.
