Middleton Open Gardens

The ever-popular Middleton-cum-Fordley Open Gardens will be returning on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June. There are c.18 gardens this year - including some new to this event - ranging from formal to a wildlife reserve, with everything in between, with gardens varying in size from just a patio to over 5 acres.

This ever-popular Open Gardens event offers an eclectic and exciting mix of gardens, some conventional and formal, others more informal or relaxed, including some new to the event.

In the pretty village of Middleton, there are gardens stretching down to the Minsmere River and others overlooking Middleton Moor. Some with views of the marshes and others across the fields; some with the Spire of Holy Trinity church seen piercing the sky in the distance. Many of the gardens have a story to tell, of both their creation and their development over the years.

Several of the gardeners cleverly borrow the beautiful surrounding Suffolk landscape to attract animals, insects, plants and birds. You will also find a herd of alpacas grazing quietly in fields within the village.

Displays by children of Middleton primary school will be exhibited in the church. The pub barn will also host an exhibition of Art, crafts and vintage clothes, and there will be a plant/flower stall. Refreshments will be available all day.
