Norfolk Open Gardens September and October 2022 

The final openings of the year are ready and waiting to show off their array of interesting and colourful beds and borders this autumn. Exotic and tropical is the theme at 33 Waldemar Avenue in Hellesdon, while High House at Shipdham boasts a plantsman’s garden, with traditional rose and shrub borders and orchard.  A walled kitchen garden designed by Arne Maynard waits at Holme Hale Hall, and the season closes with the wonderful large and varied gardens at East Ruston Old Vicarage.

Most of the gardens opening this month will accept cashless payments on the gate, but pre-booking is also available online.  Please check the www.ngs.org.uk  website for availability of refreshments and accessibility.  All children are free or permitted admission with a donation, unless otherwise stated.

If you can’t make the date for a specific garden opening, remember that many gardens are also open ‘By arrangement’, for you to contact and book a date more suitable for you, your family and friends.
