THORNER OPEN GARDENS		11 JULY 2010
	Some of the largest private gardens in Leeds will throw open their gates to the public on July 11. About 13 homes in Thorner village will welcome visitors between noon and 5pm on 11 July. Sunflower cut-outs at the gates will identify them. Admission is £5 for adults and accompanied children get in free. Some plants reared in some of the local gardens will be available to buy. The village has held open garden		events every two years since 2000 in aid of St Peter's Church and last time (2008) over £4,000 was raised. Teas, coffees, ice creams and soft drinks available around the village, and of course the beer gardens in the The Fox and The Mexborough are hoping for good weather!
