Open Gardens for visitors August 2022 

Summer is truly here, with warmer weather and a wonderful 14 gardens for visitors to enjoy this month.  Herbaceous borders, sweeping lawns, scented rose beds, follies and sculptures are all on offer during August.  A speciality this month is a collection of 400 Hydrangeas and 100 Hostas at Honeysuckle Walk, Gressenhall. Or if you prefer a trip to the city, there is a slice of Victorian Gothic, a tropical Tiki Hut, exotic planting, and a water garden in the Norwich gardens.

Most of the Open Gardens for visitors 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.
