Chris and Robin Hutt are again opening their garden, Fairlight End, Pett Road, for the National Gardens Scheme. The garden will open on Friday 22nd June from 4-9pm, when wine, beer and nibbles will be served, and on Saturday 23rd June from 11am-5pm, when teas and light refreshments will also be available.

The price of admission is £4 per head, children free. 80% of money raised will go to NGS charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie Cancer Care. 20% will go this year to Pett Village Hall, which is kindly supporting the opening.

Regular visitors will know that Fairlight End is an exceptional garden covering a 3 acre sloping site, with lovely views, paved terrace, lawn and ancient cherry tree, kitchen garden with 30 raised beds, wild flower meadow with mown paths, expansive orchard, and two natural ponds linked by a stream.

New to see this year are the terraced herbaceous borders below the house, which were overhauled and extended last winter to include another flight of steps and fresh planting and views.
