Bristol couples open their gardens for charity
Two Bristol couples in Henleaze are preparing to open their gardens to the public this weekend to raise money for charity.
Rod and Sue Jones of Montroy Close and Pat and Graham Thomas of Glenwood Road have had their back gardens accepted into the National Garden Scheme (NGS), which helps to open private gardens for charity. The Jones' garden, at 16, Montroy Close, has a stream-fed pond, a pebble beach and a lawn.
The Thomas', at 6, Glenwood Road, have a woodland garden with shrubs, herbaceous borders, a rock garden, fishpond and lawn.
The gardens will be open on June 21 from 2pm to 6pm and tickets cost £3 per person.
