Gardens

Step into Spring 2008

Celebrate springtime in style at one of the four RHS gardens. Each garden has a variety of activities on offer. Plenty of gift ideas for Mothering Sunday and Easter, as well as tasty treats in our cafés and restaurants, make each garden a colourful retreat for all the family.

And if you're into growing vegetables, get your year off to a flying start by visiting one of the four gardens on 8 March. Each garden is running a FREE Grow Your Own Veg Open Day to celebrate the launch of this year's Grow Your Own Veg Campaign . Check out each garden for individual event programmes, but if you're completely new to veg growing, or a seasoned pro', this is one day you won't want to miss!

For a full listing of workshops, talks and demonstrations, visit RHS Event Finder or the individual garden's pages below.
