A garden and tree collection in Taunton was opened to the public in aid of nursing charities supported by the National Gardens Scheme.

Over bank holiday weekend, Little Yarford Farm welcomed more than 150 visitors to the slopes of the Quantocks.

They experienced its features, including a natural pond, lily pond, shrub beds, along with flowering tulips and pansies-filled troughs.

Its unique attraction is its collection of more than 300 trees of differing types and rarities, planted over the past 50 years.

Guided tours were also on offer for a select few in the paddocks.

Additionally, a team served cream teas and other refreshments to visitors, raising over £500 for the St Thomas Church Cothelstone and surpassing £1,000 for the National Gardens Scheme.
