Celebrate 15 years of our Open Gardens in 2026!

From 26 April to 13 September, enjoy exclusive access to eight beautiful private gardens across Cornwall.

Organised with the support of dedicated volunteers and garden owners, the scheme has raised over £200,000 for Cornwall’s wildlife. Expect inspiring gardens, homemade treats, gardening ideas, and more along the way.

Whether you visit one garden or several, you’ll be supporting nature while enjoying a great day out.  

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

More details below - we'll see you in the garden!
