Organic inspiration on our garden open days 🔗
Experience our garden in a new way with our open garden afternoons. These relaxed events offer a different format from our previous guided tours, giving you the freedom to explore the garden at your own pace. Enjoy light refreshments as you wander through the garden, discovering ideas for sustainable and eco-friendly gardening.
Explore our no-dig trial area, large vegetable patch featuring unique Heritage Seed Library vegetables, our glasshouse, National Comfrey Collection, and several wildlife ponds. This working organic garden also features dedicated areas showing you how to grow organically, even in small spaces, including container gardening, maximising vertical spaces, and gardening for climate change. For those who would like to learn more about our organic demonstration garden, guided tours led by our expert gardening team will also be available to sign up for on the day.
