The couple have spent the past 15 years transforming their garden at 70 Hawksley Avenue, Newbold, from a concrete drive and garage into a semi tropical/woodland space.

Their garden will be open from 11am to 4pm,

Last year Richard and Sharon raised £350 for projects in Tsumeb, which is Chesterfield’s twin town, through opening their garden to the public.
