Tickets being sent out now!
Tickets and guidebooks for the Weekend are now ready and our hard-working volunteers will be busy this month mailing these out to those of you who have bought tickets.
We hope you will like the new guidebook and will enjoy planning which gardens to visit over the Weekend. You may also find it helpful to visit the planning page of our website.
As the guidebook goes to print in advance of the Weekend, there are inevitably changes to the programme. For the latest updates (including planned works affecting public transport), please see the changes to programme.
If you still haven't brought your tickets you can purchase them on-line via our website.
NEW FOR THIS YEAR...

The garden is currently under construction and Open Garden Squares Weekend is the first time that the public will be allowed access.

Mixed Borders - Poets in Residence
London Parks and Gardens Trust and the Poetry
School have hybridised!
Poets throughout the ages have been inspired by
the natural world to produce great poetry. In this
unique project we're delighted to be working with
the Poetry School to place poets in residence in
many of our gardens. Look out for exciting examples
of their new work composed exclusively for the Weekend,enjoy their performances, and maybe even pen a garden-inspired line yourself. For full details of where you can find our horticultural authors will be appearing shortly on our Activities page on the website.
