On Sunday 17th May 2026, Little Dinworthy Garden will be opening from 11am until 4pm for the NGS at Little Dinworthy, Bradworthy, Holsworthy, Devon, EX22 7QX. Little Dinworthy gardens started life in 2003 as a conventionally farmed small holding. Today, the once bare fields with their tightly clipped hedges now support an abundance of wildlife from a myriad of native flowers to a multitude of insects, bees butterflies, moths and dragonflies, and huge increases in the species of birds and animals, such as the long eared owl and our treasured dormouse. The young wood continues to develop with a vision to create an ancient wood filled with bluebells and wild daffodils. The challenges of ash die back are counteracted by the opportunity to plant new and different species creating further habitats. Along with the wood, a lake was built to add to the diversity of flora and fauna, attracting wild fowl with resident Little Grebes. Moorhens, wild ducks and a pair of nesting Canada Geese frequent the pond each year. It is a delight to watch swallows as they skim the water dipping in for a drink, and the huge increase in insects has encouraged many types of bats. At Little Dinworthy cultivated plants harmonise and flourish with wild flowers creating a haven for dozens of our beloved bumblebees. A conservatory has recently been added to house a variety of tender plants lengthening the enjoyment of flowers at either end of the growing season.Directions: 3m NW of Bradworthy. In Bradworthy Square, head towards Meddon/Hartland on North Riad. Take 2nd left to Dinworthy at North Moor X, & follow NGS signs. Lane entrance to Little Dinworthy will be on the right.
