Flore gardens have welcomed visitors since 1963 as part of the Flore Flower Festival, partnering with the NGS since 1992 with openings every year. Flore is a picturesque village with views overlooking the Upper Nene Valley. We have a varied mix of large and small gardens, each developed by friendly, enthusiastic owners who will be in their garden on the day. From traditional to eccentric, the gardens offer year-round interest, with features such as greenhouses, gazebos, summerhouses, water features, and seating areas to rest while enjoying the gardens. The June opening coincides with the long running Flore Flower Festival, featuring themed floral displays in the church and chapel. Garden tickets are valid for both days in June.

In Spring there are early flowering perennials, interesting trees, shrubs, and bulbs in pots and border drifts. There is planting for all situations from shade to full sun.
The June gardens include formal and informal designs with lots of roses, clematis and many varieties of trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs, fruit and some vegetables.
There is a C12 Church and Victorian Chapel which are also open in June with floral displays.
