Open Gardens

Check out the gardens opening near you!

Our perennially popular horticultural event is back for its 29th year. Open Gardens is the perfect event for green-fingered folk to enjoy.

From May – August 2023 visit beautiful, hidden green spaces across West Essex as our community kindly opens its gardens to visitors, helping raise vital funds for St Clare Hospice.

We have a variety of picturesque gardens for you to tour and enjoy throughout the Open Gardens season. Take a look at the Open Gardens brochure below to find a garden near you!
