Horticultural charity Perennial has announced the return of its exclusive garden tour programme, taking groups to some of England’s most most colourful and pristine spaces.
Running between May and September, the 2025 programme features a selection of horticultural favourites and prestigious new venues across the UK for groups to explore on a visit.
Guests will be able to enjoy behind-the-scenes tours led by the head gardener, grounds person or property owner, providing insights into the care and history of the gardens and discussing the responsibilities they have in caring for their green spaces.
Highlights of the 2025 programme include the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London, the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, the Fonthill Estate in Wiltshire, and favourites like Woolton House in Hampshire and Mount St John in North Yorkshire.
To complete the day, each tour includes lunch at, or near the venue. After lunch, visitors will have opportunities to explore other areas of the venues, including the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum and Canterbury Cathedral depending on which tour you book.
