Eleven gardens in the Bootham area of the city, none of which have ever been open to the public before, will welcome visitors on Saturday, June 22 (12pm to 4pm) and Sunday, June 23 (2pm to 4pm).
Edward Waterson, whose own garden in St Mary’s is among those on show, said: “The thousands of people who walk up and down the streets of Bootham every day could not imagine that behind the façades of the buildings lie some wonderful gardens of all sizes and varieties.
“They are oases of calm incredibly close to the city centre.”
