Blooming lovely day to open up gardens for charity

Hundreds of visitors have been able to enjoy the splendour of a beautiful county garden near Bridgnorth – which has opened to the public for the first time.

Westwood House, in Oldbury, was open as part of the National Garden Scheme, with the 150 online tickets snapped up before the event, and plenty more turning up to get a glimpse of the two acre gardens.

Owned by Hugh and Carolyn Trevor-Jones, it was the first time Westwood House's gardens had been open to the public.

Mr and Mrs Trevor-Jones, who have lived at the property for 20 years, had initially planned to open up last year, but like many events they saw the plans scuppered by the pandemic.
