Armagh’s commercial apple orchards\, it has a centre dedicated to scientific research on growing plants and mushrooms\, and just a mile away from the village is the HQ of Northern Ireland’s largest vegetable growing and wholesaling enterprise. The village has won a series of awards in best kept and floral display competitions.   \nBut we’re sure you knew all about this\, didn’t you? \nNow we have a similar Secret Gardens event to offer. About 20 gardens will be open for visiting from 11am-5pm on Saturday\, June 7th and 2-5pm on the afternoon of Sunday\, June 8th\, 2025.  \nIn the past we held a competition with prizes for the best floral displays visible from the street.  We thought it was now time again to showcase some of the fascinating hidden areas and to open up our ‘secret’ gardens again for a couple of days.  This is both to raise funds for charities and to celebrate the beauty of our village\, unseen as well as seen. \nThe charities benefitting will be the Loughgall and District Improvement Association\, Alzheimer’s Society\, Northern Ireland and St Lukes’ Parish Church\, Loughgall. \nOther attractions: \n\nRefreshments – BBQ’s\, teas\, strawberries and cream\, etc\nPlant stall\nApple produce and local honey\nVintage car display \nPoultry and goats\nHedgehog rescue\nBric-a-brac and crafts\nMusic on the street\nWe are in the process of arranging a hop on/hop off bus service\nOther attractions to follow\n\nTickets bought on the day will cost £10 per head and will entitle you to visit as many of the gardens as you chose.  Each will come with a map and list of gardens.

We plan to sell tickets in advance for the reduced price of £7\, available in the village shop and from Mervyn Walker\, who lives on the village main street.
