Welcome to our Wild Gardens 2026!
Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st June
Wild gardens are for people as well as nature! Nine gardens are open this year and offer an endless variety of creative ideas to engage our minds and give delight. HVCA Wild Gardening has been going since 2020 and Open Wild Gardens have been running since 2022.
This year, gardens are open in Bradwell, Bamford and Hathersage on the limestone and gritstone. Nine gardens, small and large with diverse topography from level sites with rich soils to steeply graded hill sides. Habitats include flower beds, lawns with wild flower patches and meadows, bird baths, ponds and boggy areas, stone walls, brash hedges and woodland.
We are able to share our experience and learn new things about how nature responds to the way we garden. Biodiversity loss and climate change are linked and it is more important than ever that we garden with nature in mind.
Open Gardens
Each garden has different opening times over the weekend, so please make sure to check before your visit. Some gardens will also have refreshments available. For further details, including the full address and amenities, please refer to the “Visitor Info” section for each garden.
