Previous Open Garden Days

2022

With more interest than ever before, we held Open Gardens across two days in June 2022 in Chorlton.

2019

More gardens than ever were open in 2019, and musicians played for extra entertainment in some of the gardens.

2018

2018 was a lovely day.

2016

We had a successful day in June 2016.

2015

More gardens were added in 2015, after a year’s absence.

2013

2013 was another good year for fundraising and support, despite a cold spring for the gardeners, and a rainy day for visitors.

2012

Following a very positive reaction in our first year, 2012 was our second year, and the year the website was developed.

2011

2011 was the first Chorlton Open Gardens, originally done as a fund-raising idea, modelled on other similar events elsewhere in the UK. At that point we didn’t have a website.
