LEVENS Hall and Gardens will be looking to thrill visitors on May 12 as it celebrates World Topiary Day.

World Topiary Day will provide visitors with the opportunity to explore over 100 pieces of topiary, with the help of head gardener, Chris Crowder.

Chris will lead tours, starting at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on May 12, which are free of charge with admission, exploring the history of the garden, offer tips on creating and caring for topiary. There will also be quizzes and other activities for adults and children to take part in on the day. On the day, which is also National Limerick Day, Levens Hall is asking for limericks on the theme of topiary, with a prize of a 2021 family season ticket for the best.
