How to use GardenFinder

GardenFinder helps you plan garden visits by dates, by location, garden name or by specific garden feature. If you are looking for something special, for example a garden design by the celebrated Gertrude Jekyll, simply type in the keyward search box - you can even specify county and time of year.

Over 90% of our gardens are listed on GardenFinder, many owners include photographs of their gardens, and some have their own web pages, to which we link. Owners also take the opportunity to write a fuller discription of the garden. If you wish to visit by appointment, why not email or phone the garden owner directly to make arrangements. There is a link to Multimap for accurate directions - just click on the words 'location map' below the garden description the website also lists changes to opening dates and timers. Although rare, weather in particular can wreak havoc with the best of plans.
