Open Gardens 2020

We are delighted to announce our 2020 Open Gardens programme, funding new planting at the Yorkshire Arboretum.

Once again we are grateful to the garden owners who are supporting us by opening their gardens. This year’s programme is the biggest to date, and includes several new additions. A full list of dates is overleaf including our annual arboretum plant sale and a very special tour of York’s Museum Gardens for season ticket holders.

The price of a season ticket is just £20, making this great value for money. Alternatively you can purchase a day ticket for £5, which will allow you to visit any gardens open that day.
