Gardens in Tyne And Wear

The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to 3 of the best private gardens in Tyne And Wear.

Your visits raise important funds for charitable causes across the UK through admissions, teas and cake - and in the majority of gardens children go free!

Thanks to the generosity of garden owners who freely give their time and energy to open their beautiful gardens with the National Garden Scheme we were able to donate over £3.4 million to vital nursing and health charities last year. We hope to top this in 2024 with yet more beautiful gardens open in Tyne And Wear for you to visit this year.
