Lilies Open Garden

Since the 17th century, a house and grounds have been recorded on the site of Lilies in north Buckinghamshire, a beautiful, elevated estate with sweeping views over the Vale of Aylesbury. The grounds feature extensive lawns, perennial and shrub beds surrounding the main house. A koi fishpond, clipped yew and box topiary, mature specimen trees, woodland walks, a large walled garden, numerous beehives, statues, a kitchen garden and a wildflower meadow.

During the afternoon, Head Gardener Andrew will give talks, sharing fascinating insights into the restoration and history of the gardens, and there will be demonstrations from local beekeepers.

Tickets are £14 in advance and include tea and cake. For further information or to book tickets, visit www.scannappeal.org.uk/events or call 01494 734161.
