Three gardens will be throwing open their gates for people to enjoy their beauty in Cartmel later this month.
Their owners are taking part in the National Garden Scheme on July 21 and there will be free parking at Cartmel Village Primary School on Aynsome Road.
The group of gardens are all within easy reach of one another.
Greencroft, at the junction of Barn Garth and Priest Lane, is a garden of parkland with species of trees and herbaceous borders. The lawns are divided by the River Eea with a backdrop to the stunning 12th century Priory Church. At the rear of the house is the Coach House courtyard showcasing urns and evergreen plants.
Laburnum Cottage, on Barn Garth, is a small, compact walled garden with views of the priory. The garden is in three parts: a small front to the roadside, a rear garden planted with a cottage style approach and a side garden with raised cutting flower beds and vegetables.
There are shrubs, clematis, perennials and a variety of pots with a collection of hostas.
The Rowans, on Haggs Lane, is a beautiful garden full of shrubs and herbaceous plants around four lawns with a large selection of pots, many containing hostas. Flow Beck bisects the rear garden. There are various seating areas and a summerhouse taking advantage of the sun and views to the fells.
There will be home-made teas at Laburnum Cottage and plants for sale at The Rowans.
Admission is £7.50 for adults, children go free
You pay one admission price and get entry to all the gardens on the day.
The gardens will be open from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
