WHAT IS GARDEN DAY?
Garden Day is a chance for people across the country to down tools and celebrate their gardens. Everyone can take part, regardless of the size of their gardens – rolling lawns, potted window sills, urban rooftops and patio planters – all are welcome.
CELEBRATE YOUR GARDEN! HOW?
What you do on Sunday 17 October is completely up to you – the most important thing is to head outdoors, wear a flower crown, and welcome Spring with a garden celebration.
ABOUT
Most of the year we plant, water, weed and mulch – work. Garden Day, however, is the time to reap the rewards of your labour. No matter how big or small your garden is – whether you have rolling lawns or simple window box displays – Garden Day is all about downing tools and celebrating the fruits of your labour.
Join us in your garden on Sunday 17 October.GALLERY
