Worth Parish to Host Open Gardens Day on June 8, 2025

Worth Parish is inviting the community to its Open Gardens Day on Sunday, June 8, 2025, as part of the 1050th Anniversary celebrations of St. Nicholas Church. The event aims to raise funds for the church’s organ restoration appeal.

Five local gardens—three in Worth and two in Maidenbower—will be open to visitors. These gardens belong to church members, including the Rector, the Crucifer, the Organist, a retired Doctor, and a retired Professor. Each garden reflects the unique style and passion of its owner.

The event will commence at Worth Rectory, Church Road, Worth, RH10 7RT, starting around 11:15 AM after the morning church service, and will conclude at 4:00 PM. Tickets are priced at £5, granting access to all five gardens. Visitors can also enjoy a plant sale, refreshments, and toilet facilities at the Rectory. Details of the other four gardens will be provided on the day.

Please note that these are private gardens opened for fundraising purposes; therefore, facilities are limited, and the houses themselves will not be open to the public. Not all gardens are wheelchair accessible, and some contain sharp objects or poisonous plants, so children must be supervised at all times.

We hope you can join us !
