On Sunday, five members will open their gardens, along the B4196, in aid of the National Gardens Scheme.

The route will be signposted and programmes and maps will be available from each garden.

These include 6 Elm Grove, shown on BBC2's Curious Gardeners, where cream teas will be available, also a plant stall stocked with unusual plants.

At 86 Areley Common, also at Astley Cross, the Caswills have conquered the sandy lawn at the front of the house.

The Sytche, is home of a pedigree Bleu De Maine flock of prize-winning sheep, the garden being balanced around the old farmhouse and fields beyond.

At Koi Cottage the centres of attention are a Japanese garden and huge koi carp, and there will be plants for sale.

At Woodstock, on the villages' southern boundary, rhododendrons and roses dominate. Refreshments will be available.
