Norfolk Open Gardens March and April 2022
The brightly coloured bulbs of spring are emerging just in time to put on a splendid show for our garden visitors. Five gardens are opening to support the National Garden Scheme charities during March and April this year. These early spring gardens offer opportunities for countryside and woodland walks, masses of narcissus and other spring flowers, as well as a cup of tea and piece of cake.
Pre-booked tickets can be purchased online for all gardens listed, and the booking system is currently open, and at most gardens, it will be possible to turn up and pay at the gate. Refreshments will be available at the majority of gardens, and entry for children is free unless otherwise stated.

2022 marks 95 years of fundraising for the National Garden Scheme and its partnership with The Queen’s Nursing Institute, and over that time we have raised over £63 million for our beneficiaries. The first gardens opened in 1927 for a shilling a head and this format has been so popular that it has continued to this day, now raising millions each year for some of the UK’s best-loved nursing and health charities.
Thanks to the generosity of our gardens owners, volunteers and visitors, we made a total donation of £3,030,272 in 2021, despite the challenges faced during the COVID pandemic. This makes the National Garden Scheme the most significant charitable funder of nursing in the UK. The latest impact report for 2021 can be found on our website at https://ngs.org.uk.
