SIX gorgeous gardens will open their gates to the public in aid of CancerCare this summer.

The first will be held on May 18 at Roundhill Gardens - a historic rock and alpine garden with stunning panoramic views in Grasmere - which will open from 11am-5pm.

The next event will take place on June 29 between 1-5pm at Orchard Close, Levens - a beautiful cottage garden, nurtured in the old orchard, with some wonderfully original features including a fern garden and sculptures.

On July 12 and 13, meanwhile, Aisgill Moor Cottages at Mallerstang will be open to the public between 11am-5pm.

Entry to all will be £2.50 per person and refreshments will be included.

CancerCare, a Kendal and Lancaster based charity which supports cancer patients and their families, is also appealing for more green-fingered gurus to come forward and offer their gardens to the public.

Please contact Sarah Stimson, fundraising coordinator, at CancerCare on 01524-381820.
