A TINY garden in Trimdon Grange which hosts the national collection of a rare plant is to open to the public at the weekend.

David and Dianne Nichol-Brown's garden at 28 Sunnyside Terrace will open on Sunday, in support of the British Red Cross Open Gardens Programme. The garden prominently features polemonium plants and the collection has become so important it is has been given scientific status.

The garden will be open from 2pm to 5pm. To visit the garden, follow the signs from the main B1278 road through Trimdon Grange.
