Dates for your diary: early openers 2025
The first gardens confirmed for 2025 have been announced by the National Garden Scheme.
These early openers break the winter sleep with blankets of snowdrops and early spring bulbs. More will be added in mid-December when the full list of gardens opening in 2025 goes live on the website. But, for those who love to plan ahead, here’s a tiny taster of things to come…
Please note: web links take you to the garden listing and give a general description of the garden – this and opening times will be updated in mid-December. As with all garden openings weather may force gardens to cancel or change opening dates so do check before travelling.
