National Garden Scheme Open Day

The 2007 openings will be in June 2007.

Evening opening 21 June from 4.00pm till 8.00pm

Sunday afternoon 24 June from 2.00pm till 6.00pm
with tea and cakes provided by Barkston Ash School
PTA in aid of school funds.

The garden is also open by appointment for groups.

The garden will be signposted on the Open Days from Hillam
and from the A63 in Monk Fryston.

The map shows our location relative to the A1 and the M62.heThe best
approach is to take the A63 in the direction of Selby from either the M1 or the new A1(M). Take care not to miss the turnings. Once on the A63 head in the direction of Selby and look out for the Open Garden signs as you pass through Monk Fryston village. Take the right turn just after the now closed filling station on the edge of the village. Then left along Hillam Common Lane for about a mile and a half. Don't give up too soon, we are well out of the village on the left and the garden is clearly visible from the road. Parking for about 100 cars in the field behind the house. There is easy wheel chair access direct into the garden and no need to park on the road.s.

New for 2007 During 2006 we completed the summer house at the end of the orchard. The woodland area has developed very well over recent years and now provides a very pleasant and relaxed area of the garden. In the woodland you will find a lot of underplanting which makes this area of the garden one of our favourites. There are also new raised beds for vegetables and work going on with a new stone wall on the edge of the woodland area.
