Mellor Open Gardens 2012

A group of people in Mellor have been organising MELLOR OPEN GARDENS events since 1992. The event takes place every four years and this - the sixth such event - it is on SUNDAY 17 JUNE, very soon!


This year a record number of 22 private gardens will be open to the public between 11am and 6pm, and the money raised will go to Cancer Research UK and the Parish Centre in Mellor; this is a much used community facility developed in the former primary school building ten years ago.


There is a free hail-and-ride bus service up and down the main road in Mellor all day, and refreshments are provided in the (new) primary school and in the Parish Centre. There is plenty of information available on the website here


If you are interested in gardens, but unable to come on the day, you may like to read about the silent auction of rather special garden-orientated lots which money cannot usually buy. Details are here (click on this link for instant gratification).
