15 Open Gardens


May is a perfect time to enjoy gardens in full bloom and many in South Devon are opening to the public. Catch nature at its best and maybe even sample a delicious, homemade cream tea while you are there. For most of our gardens, you will need to pre-book online although some have the flexibility for you to just turn up and pay at the gate. Check at ngs.org.uk
