THE popular Campoverde

Open Garden Day is making a comeback on Saturday, May 27, from 11am until 4pm. Guests will be invited to immerse themselves in several captivating gardens in Pinar de Campoverde, nestled near to Pilar de la Horadada. Guests will wander through a kaleidoscope of horticultural wonders that promise to delight all gardening enthusiasts.

The event, organised by Campoverde Community Church, is not a competition, but an opportunity for local gardening lovers to learn from each other and to escape into nature’s paradise. This year the participating properties are the following:

3 Calle Oregano, 17 Calle Oregano, 20 Calle Oregano, 1 Calle Peral, and 17 Calle Magnolio. Each property boasts distinctive features and types

of plants chosen.

From spacious gardens with lawns and orchards to small patios with plants in pots, there is plenty of inspiration to be taken.

The event is also a social occasion where property owners will share the trials, tribulations and triumphs of their gardens.

The event is completely free, although donations towards the church will be gratefully accepted; donation tins will be provided at each property. There is also ample parking in the area for visitors.
