Have you bought your tickets yet?

You can still buy on-line tickets at £10 advance price before Saturday (£12 over the weekend) and you will have a PDF ticket emailed to you. Print this out, or show the ticket on your smart phone, and you'll be able to collect a guidebook in gardens over the weekend. 

Planning your Weekend

With so many gardens to choose from, we really recommend taking the time to plan your weekend. If you booked early and were posted a guidebook you can use this to help, otherwise you can view it on-line, collect one from The City Information Centre or visit our website.

Symmetry Breakfast Picnic Hampers

We've been working with Symmetry Breakfast to put together a limited number of special breakfast hampers for you to enjoy, picnic-style in one of our gardens. Incorporating organic food from some of our participating gardens, settle down on a blanket and indulge in a leisurely start to your Open Garden Squares Weekend experience.
Perfect for two people, with each box containing two matcha green tea or mango croissants from MoBa in Goodge St, two pots of luxurious passion fruit yoghurt by The Collective, two packs of handmade muesli from Alara, two fresh fruit salads by The Panthers Whiskers, two cartons of ice coffee by Vitacoco and a half bottle of Prosecco to wash it all down.  You even get to keep your exclusive OGSW picnic blanket!
