Have you found the perfect garden using our garden finder only to realise that you’re busy on the open day? A garden open by arrangement accepts groups of visitors to their garden for a more personalised visit, on a pre-agreed date. Usually, the garden will advertise a range of dates available that they are willing to open so that groups can decide on the most suitable option for them.
Looking for gardens on the go? We’ve got the perfect solution – our mobile phone app is available for both Apple and Android phones, and makes garden visiting even easier than before!
