Visitors to the village of Kempley in the Forest of Dean have the chance to look around some fascinating gardens this weekend.
Kempley Open Gardens takes place on Sunday afternoon, with eight gardens open to the public to admire.
Organiser Naomi Cryer said: "Kempley is more famous for the daffodil weekend when we get hundreds of visitors walking through the village to admire the daffodils. But this year because we had snow for the daffodil weekend, there is the opportunity to come and have a look around some of the gardens.
"There are a huge variety of gardens to be admired. One gentleman keeps bees and he sells honey and vegetables from his garden, another has prize-winning bonsais, another is a typical cottage garden and there are also bigger village gardens with herbaceous beds."
Visitors can buy a 'passport' from the village hall for £6 and get entry to all eight gardens.There's a map on the inside with the names of the open gardens on it.
Home made cakes and tea will be served in the village hall, along with crafts.
All proceeds will go to the Kempley Village Hall Redevelopment Fund.
