Last year's lockdown meant the annual National Garden Scheme was limited to an online experience.
This year, the scheme returns to Cheshire with over 50 locations taking part, from resisential gardens, community allotments and stately homes.
At the time of writing, pre-booking is recommended as spaces will be limited, we've selected the ones with the biggest capacity, so there is more chance of you being able to attend.
