The National Garden Scheme is underway following the relaxation of the government’s ‘stay at home’ rule. Many sites are also able to serve refreshments after outdoor hospitality was permitted from last Monday (April 12).

Dates vary and most sites require visitors to pre-book.

In East Sussex the following gardens will open as part of the scheme –
