Retford garden to open to the public as part of national scheme

Pre-booking is essential to visit Thyme House, on Leverton Road, due to limited parking.

It will be open on Saturday, June 14 – to book a visit, call 01777 948620.

This imaginative garden, which is opening as part of the long-running National Garden Scheme, was started in 2018 from an open lawn.

The garden consists of islands of unusual shrubs and perennials with many original features, such as a large sunken firepit and a moon-gate entranced pond area, as well as sculptures.

There is parking, wheelchair access, refreshments, space for picnics, cashless payments.

Last year, the NGS donated £3.11 million to beneficiaries, including Parkinson’s UK.
