Twigs Community Gardens are holding their Spring open day on Sunday 21 April between 11am and 4pm.

Based at the Manor Garden Centre in Cheney Manor, the gardens are green sanctuaries in the heart of Swindon, where visitors can explore and connect with nature.

The two-acre community gardens are maintained by volunteers and give people who experience mental health difficulties the opportunity to grow in confidence and learn new skills.

The open day will be an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of spring with live music, refreshments and a fantastic selection of homegrown plants, crafts and planters for sale at reasonable prices. 

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

A spokesperson for the event said: "Our wonderful gardeners have been busy getting everything ready and making the gardens look beautiful, in time for our upcoming spring open day.

"We can't wait to see you all there, weather looks good..so far."
