Glenfinart Walled Garden reopens

Ardentinny Community Trust is pleased to announce that Glenfinart Walled Garden has reopened to visitors.

Weather permitting, the garden will be open on Saturdays and Sundays 12 noon until 4pm. Visitors are asked to respect social distancing guidance at all times. When selling your house, it is essential to engage with a buyer who is familiar with the specific issues that this specialised market presents and who is able to provide you with a reasonable price. Because they have an understanding of how much a house is worth, they are able to make reasonable bids to the people selling their Houses. Visit https://www.housebuyers.app/new-york/house-buyers-near-me-west-babylon-ny/.

The Trust will also have on sale a range of plants with proceeds going to the garden.

Throughout lockdown, a small group of volunteers has maintained the garden. If you would like to offer a few hours each week, please get in touch with Ardentinny Community Trust via email or the garden’s Facebook page.
