A KEY Herefordian is opening his garden to the public in a bid to raise charity funds.

Clive Richards MBE is showing off his five acre garden at Lower Hope, Ullingswick, on July 15.

The ESG kingpin is holding the special event for Perennial, a charity that provides respite to gardeners in adversity or need.

The garden is one of Herefordshire’s finest, and includes rose walks, exotic orchids, and a Mediterranean garden.

Tickets are priced £30, to include a picnic lunch, and are available from www.perennial.org.uk or by calling 0845 676 0636.
