All in a Garden Green

Study day

Garden Visits

Norfolk Gardens not normally shown to the general public can be exclusively visited, or Gardens which may be open occasionally are open especially for Trust Members only, making for a more relaxed and less crowded visit. This is a splendid way to see the very best, and often the very latest, of the Garden making in the county. Selected Gardens in our neighbouring counties of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are sometimes included. Needless to say, afternoon visits always conclude with delicious tea and cakes.
