From large country estates and picturesque cottage gardens, to urban hideaways and ancient woodlands, the National Garden Scheme opens 3,500 exceptional private gardens for charity – and we’re giving you the chance to pick your favourite!
We know that visiting National Garden Scheme gardens can often inspire you to want to do more with your own garden or even to try gardening for the first time. But where do you start? Which plants do you choose? How do you look after them?
As August transitions into September many gardens still amaze with riots of colour. Take a look at some of the top picks across all our regions in England and Wales and enjoy summer’s last hurrah!
We have a lovely selection of gardens across England and Wales that open to show off their beautiful Autumn colour. Enjoy the crispness and splendour of Autumn in a National Garden Scheme garden.
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.
From prize-winning dahlia’s to delicious fresh produce and heaps of community spirit there are so many special allotments opening.
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!
In 2019 we are focusing on the importance of social prescribing and the role of gardening and gardens in helping to create a positive path to health.
