The greenfingered Bolton brothers are hoping to entice friends and strangers into their gardens next month.

Jeff and Reg, who live next door to each other in Stratton St Margaret, are planning to open their gardens to in aid of the Prospect Hospice in Wroughton. Last year the brothers, who are in their 60s, raised more than £870 for the hospice.

Reg specialises in bonsai trees and has grown some Chelsea Gold Award-winning varieties, while Jeff has an array of prizewinning vegetables and a much-admired flower garden.

The entry fee will be a minimum donation of £1. Home-made refreshments and a range of plants will be on sale, along with raffle tickets.

The gardens, at 38 and 39 St Philips Road, will be open from 2pm to 5.30pm on the weekend of July 24 and 25.
