Garden lovers are being invited to see some of Sidmouth’s best secluded gardens as part of a fundraiser to support the town’s in bloom group.

The annual event will run from Thursday, June 27, until Monday, July 1, and features 15 beautiful private gardens.

It is Sidmouth in Bloom's major fund raising event with proceeds put towards the payment of plants across the town.

Lynette Talbot, chairman of Sidmouth in Bloom, said: "The open gardens, an important part of the 'In Bloom' heritage which attracts visitors from all over the country. There are 15 beautiful and varied private gardens open this year, with teas served at several gardens. Not all gardens are open on the same day, so buy a ticket and plan your visits over the five days."
