Some of Suffolk’s mysteries will be on display to the public next month as hidden secret gardens open across the county.
The National Garden Scheme grants access to secluded and private gardens in many towns and villages in the UK.
It raises money for charity through ticket sales and refreshments such as tea, coffee and cake,
In June, there will be three gardens in Suffolk allowing visitors to explore what is normally kept hidden.
