Open Gardens

Calling all gardeners! Do you have a hidden gem of a garden, here in the heart of Lincolnshire? We’re looking for local folk to open their outdoor spaces this Summer, and make a meaningful difference in the community.

Whether your garden is humongous or humble, quirky or colourful, the chances are: if you’re passionate about your garden, others will be too. Opening your garden through our programme is a wonderful way to share your gardening wisdom and achievements while inspiring others. By participating, you’ll connect with fellow garden enthusiasts and contribute to our work across the county.

Through your ticket sales and refreshments (check out our Care For A Cuppa, which you can host at the same time), you’ll contribute to the compassionate care and support provided by St Barnabas Hospice.
