This year’s open garden scheme has both pre-booked and on-line gardens. Where gardens are open, pre-booking is essential; pre-paid tickets will be available from Monday each week for all gardens open over the following ten days.

Locally, gardens at Becondale Road SE19, Lovelace Road SE21 and Norwood Park Road SE27 will be open for pre-booked visits. For visits further afield see: ngs.org.uk/

Sunday 16 August 2020 1pm - 5pm
