Chevin Brae, Morrells Lane, Chevin Road, Milford will be opening its garden to the public again at 1-5pm on Saturday 21st March 2026, as part of the National Gardens Scheme (NGS, Yellow Book). All the money from the entrance fees (£3 per adult, children free) and tea and cake stall will go to the NGS charities such as Macmillan, Marie-Curie and Mind. The cakes and pastries are home made and feature jam and fruit from the garden. There will also be a plant, jam and marmalade stall raising money for Blooming Milford, the local community group that keeps the village community gardens and orchards in shape and enters the village into East Midlands in Bloom.
Pictures from March 2023 are shown below. As well as an impressive display of daffodils, visitors will be treated to lovely displays of hellebores, hyacinths and camellias.
This year the daffodils in the top picture have been replanted and should be even more spectacular, and a large extension of the garden following purchase of an adjacent field will be beginning to take shape.
The garden is scheduled to open formally again on Saturday 22nd August 2026, but it can be visited by arrangement at any time. For details see the National Garden Scheme website here https://findagarden.ngs.org.uk/garden/22752/chevin_brae
