Garden tours and ticketed events give you the chance to see gardens which are not otherwise open to the public. Garden tours take place through the summer months, and you can also talk to us about organising a personalised tour for your group, club or organisation.  

Find which gardens you can visit at any time.

Normally closed to the public, the ornate Goldney Garden tucked behind Goldney House, in Clifton Wood, includes a heritage orchard, an ornamental garden, an orangery, a canal and tower, a rotunda and bastion, Corinthian columns and the elaborate grotto which is one of the finest surviving examples of an 18th century garden grotto in Britain. 

There are no public tours scheduled for 2024.
