On Safari in Glazebury Village

Intrepid explorers are once again invited to take part in the Glazebury

Garden Safari; which this year takes place on Sunday 12th September and has been

extended to 15 beautiful gardens which will be opened to the public for this

special charity event.

The Garden Safari has once again been organized by local nurseryman, John

Bent, from Bents Garden & Home and local garden enthusiast Delia Caswell. 

It will raise money for two local churches; All Saints and Glazebury Methodist

Church.

It is the third year the Safari has taken place and this year includes five

more gardens bringing the total to 15.  Visitors will enjoy broad sweeps of

colour; views over the Cheshire countryside and, hidden garden ‘rooms’, as well

as a display of vintage mowers, rare breed poultry, birds of prey and

waterfowl.

Those wishing to take part in the Safari can purchase a programme on the day

(£6) or in advance (£5) from Bents Garden & Home, Glazebury Methodist Church

or All Saints Church in Glazebury.  The programme, which provides a route map

and descriptions of the gardens, will admit two people who can tour the gardens

at their leisure between 1.00 and 5.00pm.  Tea and cake will be served

throughout the day at Glazebury Methodist Church
