This year’s event will feature at least 10 varied and attractive private gardens (one new to Open Gardens) where garden owners will give you a warm welcome and provide you with the opportunity to pick up ideas for your own garden or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
In addition, Gracewell Care Home will open their gardens for the first time, and we welcome back Manor House School, the Grange Centre (with its Victorian walled garden) and Little Bookham Allotments.
The proceeds from the day go towards the upkeep of our Old Barn Hall. Delicious refreshments will be served there throughout the day and there will also be the opportunity to visit our plant stall and buy a selection of goods from the Bookham Country Market stall. Once again there will be a raffle with lots of great prizes.
There will be a regular free minibus service to take you between the gardens. Tickets on sale from May 19th: £5.00 from the Old Barn Hall KT23 3PQ (Mon, Weds, Fri 9.30am-12.30pm), the Vineries (event sponsors) & other local outlets, £6.00 on the day. You can also buy them at the first garden you visit. Assistance dogs only.
