The walled gardens are laid out along the classical, regular and symmetrical lines associated with the Scottish landscape architect, Loudon. They consist of themed areas including oriental, nursery rhyme, classical and a witch's garden, and contain many references to literary works, especially children's classics by C. S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll and Roger Lancelyn Green.

“This quirky garden only opens a select number of times during the year, so this is a rare opportunity to look around this magical garden,” said Jo Darlington, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Cheshire Wildlife Trust. “We’re thrilled to be one of the supported charities this year and would like to thank Scirard and Caroline Lancelyn Green for choosing us.”

As well as the opportunity to tour the garden, there will be a number of demonstrations and activities taking place during the afternoon including a birds of prey display, bee-keeping demonstration, children’s activities, plant stall and a hedge laying demonstration.

Poulton Hall is at Poulton-Lancelyn, Bebington, Wirral, CH63 9LN and the garden is open from 2pm until 5pm. Admission is £5, with under 16s free of charge. All entrance fees will support the work of Cheshire Wildlife Trust. Refreshments will be available to purchase on the day with proceeds supporting Neston Rotary Club.
