Garden Conservancy’s Open Days Program

Need some ideas for your garden beds?  A great way to spark your creativity is to visit some of the private gardens that have been graciously opened to the public through the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days Program.   Volunteers at the Conservancy spend the year scouting out exceptional gardens for the program, and then publish the list in their Open Days Directory. You can purchase a copy of the directory for $21.95 (free for Garden Conservancy members).  Many of the gardens are also listed on their website beginning in April.

You do not need to be a member of the Conservancy to attend the self-guided tours and you do not need a reservation.  There is a $5 admission fee if you pay at the garden (free for children under 12), or you can purchase discounted tickets in advance through their website or by calling 1-888-842-2442.

Visit the Garden Conservancy website for more information.
