Visiting Norfolk Gardens

Every year, thousands of gardens throughout England and Wales get ready to welcome visitors through the National Gardens Scheme.

Here in Norfolk, gardens range from the small and quirky to the large and grand. Very often you will have a chance to meet the owners, enjoy home-made refreshments, and purchase some exciting plants - you will find all the details on this website.

Alternatively, if you are looking further afield, please visit the national NGS website.

Weather Presenter Forecasts Great Norfolk Gardens in 2010

Julie Reinger

Despite the snow, BBC weather presenter Julie Reinger forecast a great “Open Gardens” season for the National Gardens Scheme in Norfolk in 2010 when she was at How Hill Farm, Ludham to launch the 2010 Norfolk NGS Guide. Over fifty new and regular garden openers, nurseries, sponsors, and tourism officials enjoyed the picturesque scenery at the presentation of the 2010 Norfolk NGS Guide by kind invitation of owner Peter Boardman. This included the opportunity to walk around the garden with the tradition of tea and home - made cakes, made by the NGS county organisers. No matter what the weather gardens will entice visitors to a great garden day out while supporting the worthwhile charities of the Scheme. MORE

Open Your Garden?

Have you a garden of quality, character and interest? Would you like to open it to the public and in doing so support charity?

The scheme is always interested to hear of potential gardens, large or small, that might open in the future.

For more information about opening your garden please contact any of the Norfolk NGS team.

Garden Photographer

If one of your hobbies is visiting gardens and taking good high quality pictures, this will be a joy for you! The Norfolk NGS are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer garden photographer to take images of the open gardens. It can be for part of, or the whole county, as little or as much as you desire.

For more details contact the Norfolk Press Officer.

Volunteers

NGS is run by volunteers based in each county. People share the fun and work involved in organising open garden events. Although knowledge of gardens is always helpful, the main requirement is for good organisational skills and for people who enjoy working as part of a team.

If you feel you could help contact the ngs team.
