It is fair to say that we are a nation of British garden lovers. One of our national hobbies is spraying around a formal garden or simply sniffing at what our neighbors have done with their green space.
This summer we will have the opportunity to fulfill our horticultural passion by popping the gardening craze in the gardens that are open to the public. All are participating in the National Garden Open Scheme.
Every year, more than 3,500 special green spaces allow people to share their lovely and caring gardens. Dozens are taking part in Worcestershire.

In addition to showcasing their beautiful flowers, some offer cream tea and homemade cakes, sell cuttings and take the time to share tips, ideas and advice. And every penny of the small entry fee is donated to local and national charities.
There are 8 gardens that are opening their doors in Worcestershire.
