Blandford’s Hidden Gardens is an opportunity to explore not only the gardens but also rarely-seen areas of the town itself. This year’s event takes place on Sunday 7 June from 11 am to 5 pm, and will be the 18th year that owners have opened their gardens to share their secrets with the public in support of local and national charities and community organisations.

The gardens range in size from courtyard to expansive and from all ages from Georgian to contemporary – some with sculptures, ponds, wildlife havens, all with a wide variety of plants and some with refreshments on sale.

Tickets are £7.00, which covers entry to all the participating gardens, and will be on sale from May 25 at the Information Centre or the Town Museum. You can help to support the Information Centre by buying your tickets from us, as we receive a donation for every ticket sold.

Blandford’s Hidden Gardens is organised by Blandford Environmental Trust and sponsored by Colten Care.
