WINCHESTER College will be opening its gardens to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme (NGS).
The school raised more than £4,500 for NGS charities when it took part last year, welcoming more than 450 visitors.
Over the weekend of June 4 and 5 visitors will be able to explore Moberly Garden, War Cloister, Bethesda Garden and the Warden’s Garden.
Members of the college gardening team will be on-hand to share their expertise on maintaining the grounds. This year’s focus will also be on how the gardeners have enhanced biodiversity within the school’s broader commitment to sustainability.

Visitors will be able to spot wooden green hearts, which identify areas within the campus where the team has concentrated on nurturing existing wildlife and attracting more for the future.
Tickets cost £10 per adult (children go free) and can be purchased on the door, or online at findagarden.ngs.org.uk/garden/43675/winchester_college. Homemade teas will also be available. The gardens will be open from 11am-4pm.
The National Garden Scheme gives visitors access to more than 3,500 private gardens across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands, to raise money for nursing and health charities. For more information go to ngs.org.uk/.
