Open Gardens

We are very excited to celebrate 15 years of our wildlife-friendly Open Gardens scheme with you in 2026. There will be new gardens and old friends joining us across the Spring and summer months, and as we head into autumn.

Our 'garden party' invite is open to all, so come along and gain exclusive access to eight stunning private gardens across Cornwall, from 26th April to 13th September.

Since the beginning, our dedicated volunteers and garden owners have helped our Open Gardens scheme bloom. Not just through the delightful botanical specimens and the myriad wildlife enjoyed, but by helping raise more than £200,000 that supports our nature-based activities.

All the new details will be added here soon, so make sure you make a space in your diary to explore a garden (or eight) and, along with all the horticultural delights, enjoy a delicious sweet treat, garner gardening tips, chill out to music, or try a creative workshop.

Thanks to the generous support of sponsors Roddas, Boddingtons, Cornico, and Cornish Orchard.

Sign-up for our newsletter, follow our social media or pop back to our website to keep up to date.

Whether you’re drawn to wildflower meadows, tranquil ponds, or beautifully cultivated borders, the Open Gardens series promises inspiration for every nature lover and gardening enthusiast. By coming along, you’ll not only enjoying a wonderful day out but also help to protect Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places.
