Look out for our full programme of guided walks, behind the scenes talks and cycle tours. BOOKING FOR THE WALKS AND TOURS IS NOW CLOSED (3 JUNE) These are exclusively available to ticket holders only for an additional £5 charge each on top of your ticket price.

How does it work?

As a ticket holder, you can choose your own itinerary from the 100+ gardens on offer over the weekend. Please note there is no garden to visit at the pinned Oxford Street location on the Eventbrite map. To start planning your weekend see all participating gardens here and choose which to visit based on your interests using our online garden selector tool. Coming soon you'll also have online access to a FREE visitor map.

Whether your garden interest lies in the historical, traditional, contemporary or experimental you’ll find a selection to match.

When planning your weekend, make sure your chosen gardens are open when you want to visit, as each location operates its own opening and closing times. On arrival, show your ticket to one of our friendly volunteers who can also give you tips on good gardens to visit nearby.

Our Garden Coordinators also curate FREE, self-guided walk routes based on clusters of participating gardens and other local green spaces which will be published online in the spring.
