A highlight of the Festival programme, Frome residents open their doors wide and invite you to discover the Hidden Gardens of Frome. Explore the byways of Frome, enjoy gardens lovingly prepared by volunteers, treat yourself to a piece of cake and a cup of tea, or just wander around and have a chat. Join hundreds of visitors discovering beautiful please across the town and talk with knowledgeable gardeners and wildlife enthusiasts. Many gardeners raise money for a variety of good causes during the weekend.
This year, the Hidden Gardens will have a particular focus on wildlife friendly gardening, including some from Frome’s Wild Bunch and some accredited by Somerset Wildlife’s “Team Wilder” project.
When you purchase your ticket either in person or online, you will receive a programme with map which will act as your ticket for the gardens. Please be aware that some gardens are only open one or two days across the weekend, as gardeners do love to get out and see other people’s efforts as well.
Hidden Gardens is open from 10.30am-4.30pm on Fri 11, Sat 12 & Sun 13 July. We are expecting hot weather so please stay hydrated and bring some cash to enjoy some refreshments in the shady spots offered.
*Note that Garden 23 on Weymouth Road is now only open Saturday afternoon.
*Garden 38 on New Buildings will now open Sunday as well.
