Gardens give taste of past

Gardens at Southwell Workhouse will be open today as part of the National Garden Scheme.

A family craft day will also be held.

Visitors will be able to see the types of food that would have been grown by those living in the workhouse.

Fruit and vegetables grown in the garden will be on sale.

Money raised through admission will be donated to the National Garden Scheme, which raises money for charity.

The garden is open from 11am to 5pm. Normal admission prices apply.

The family craft event takes place from 1pm-3pm.

Entry to the craft day is £2.50.
