When to Go
Gardens continually change throughout the year. Find out when is the best time to see the magnificent displays in our gardens with our Gardens for all Seasons guide.

What to Do
There is lots to do at NTS garden properties in addition to wandering round our spectacular gardens. Many of the properties have a restaurant or cafe as well as gift shops. Take an audio tour through the garden or explore the surrounding grounds and woodlands. There are cycle and horse riding trails through several of our properties, and many properties have playgrounds and activities for younger visitors and the family. Click here to find out about the different types of events which take place in NTS gardens.

Disability Access in Gardens
Many gardens are particularly suited to people with a visual impairment, for example some gardens have scented sections, and touch tours can be arranged by prior notice. You will also be able to find out from our disability access statement which gardens are most suitable to people with a mobility impairment; it indicates if wheelchairs are provided and if there are flat pathways.

Click here to view our disability access statement, which is also available in large print, on CD and in Braille.

Staggering Statistics
Bamboozle your brain with staggering statistics about the gardens.
