A farm near Sandbach is throwing open its doors to local artists to display their work on a floral theme. 

A former milk parlour at Hill Farm in Moston has been converted into a gallery and tearoom to allow artists to display their work. 

It's the third exhibition to be held at Hill Farm Gallery and this one has a flower theme to coincide with the gardens open three days a year as part of the National Garden Scheme. 

Last weekend, around 150 people visited the gardens and exhibition and this weekend when the exhibition is open again more visitors are expected to turn up. 

Gallery owner, Chris House, was delighted with the response and is hoping for more visitors for the flora exhibition this weekend. 

She said: "We set up the gallery last year to support the work of our son, James House, a wildlife artist studying for a degree at Camberwell College of Arts. 

"We aim to showcase for local arts and crafts in the South Cheshire area and we are pleased to provide a workspace for courses and events. 

"We thought we'd have a floral theme to coincide with the gardens. It's good for local artists to be able to display their work." 

The current exhibition, open from 10 am until 4 pm Friday to Sunday until Saturday, 15th June, features a range of work from pen and ink to water colours, textiles, oils and acrylics.  

It also features the work of a local ceramic artist, Pat Robinson from nearby Wheelock, which includes numerous items.
