Open Gardens

Why not give your senses something to enjoy – sights, smells and touch. Spend an hour or two wandering around some of Essex's most picturesque gardens, or plan a day out and discover a new horticultural interest.

Gardens can offer so much and lift our spirits. Why not visit one from the list below to appreciate seasonal planting from tantalising Tulips to alluring Alliums, these gardens can inspire the most novice of gardeners.

If shrubs or flowers are not your thing, there is the odd veg patch that features too and many offer tea and cake on site – who doesn’t like cake?
