THREE Cardiff Primary Schools will open their gardens to the public to raise money for charity.

On Sunday, June 28, the three schools will open for the National Gardens Scheme and will help to raise money for nursing and caring charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie.

Rhydypenau Primary School in Llanishen has vibrant plants, with raised vegetable beds, an orchard Hobbit house, and a ‘pop’ bottle greenhouse. There is also a house built from recycled materials, a 'Garden of the Green Dragon’, as well as three large ponds, bug houses and a sensory garden. Don’t miss the jungle trail play area, and take some time to relax in the quiet garden.

The garden will be open from noon until 6pm with refreshments available. Visitors also have admission to the Rhydypenau allotments for a combined price of £3, children free.

At St Fagans Church Primary School in Cardiff pupils, parents and staff have worked together to develop ‘The Secret Garden’ from a piece of wasteland, creating a stimulating learning environment and beautiful garden. Features include vegetable beds, a wildlife pond, a log circle, a woodland area and a fruit forest garden.

Tours of the garden by the children will be on offer. The School has also received a special award from Cardiff Healthy Schools for the development of the garden.

Open from 1-5pm, homemade teas are available, admission is £3, children free.

Llanedeyrn Primary School in Cardiff has been developed recently and won first prize in Cardiff in Bloom in 2014 and 2015. There are vegetable and flower beds, a pond, a bumble bee garden, forest school and a chicken run.

There will be many activities for all ages, and visitors can consult a range of experts who will give helpful advice on gardening skills.

Open from 1-4pm, homemade teas are available, and admission is £3, children free.
