HUNDREDS of visitors took the opportunity to see the array of stunning gardens on show at this year’s Hidden Gardens open weekend in Mere.

George Jeans from Mere Gardening Club which organised the event said: “Summer is here! Mere Gardening Club’s 2024 Hidden Gardens open weekend of June 15 and 16 has been very successful.

“19 gardens were open over the two days and every garden was a credit to its gardener.

“There were hundreds of visitors travelling between and visiting the open gardens, with some visitors coming from outside the area.”

In a post on Facebook, the club said: “Firstly a huge thanks to the 19 residents who opened their gardens this weekend.

“Wow, what surprises there are behind the houses and a lot of dedicated gardeners.

“Thank you to all the helpers of both community groups, church and gardening club for your help with refreshments and to all the wonderful cake bakers we have in Mere.

“A huge thank you to Paul at the Angel Tearooms for being our sales point for the tickets. I apologise for running out again even though we did more than last time.
