I can't quite believe it but we're into our final few open days before we close until spring 2026. This month has flown by 🐝. The larger rhododendrons are now out, many under planted with beautiful lily of the valley, and our herbaceous borders are filling up with all sorts of perennial delights. It is such a joy to see peonies, lupins, delphiniums and roses return year after year. Our Hankerchief Tree is in full flow, as are many of our other specimen and mature trees - all quite slow to come into full leaf this year despite the sunshine - has anyone else noticed that? Perhaps lack of rain... We are open 1pm -5pm as follows: 🌸 Wednesday 21 May - teas by Tapping House the Norfolk Hospice 🌸 Thursday 22 May - teas by Norfolk Door to Door 🌸 Friday 23 May - teas by BREAK 🌸 Sunday 25 May - teas by Leeway Support 🌸 Bank Holiday Monday 26 May - teas by Leeway Support. Alongside the delicious homemade charity teas noted above, we also have Dann's Ice creams with us to provide you all with a floriferous afternoon full of edible treats. Entrance is £9 via Ticketsource (link in bio) or by cash/card at the entrance gate. Dogs on leads welcome and there is good disabled access to most areas of the garden. #opengarden #gardens #charity #rhododendronspeciesgarden #norfolk #springgarden #azaleas #herbaceousborders #perennialplants #dayout #charityteas #specimentrees

Our Classic Vehicle Day is this Sunday and the sun is set to shine 🥳☀️🍺🚘. We can't wait to welcome back hundreds of classic vehicles of all varieties to this brilliant event, now in its 7th year. We have over 200 Harleys and other bikes roaring into the gardens at midday-ish as part of their @distinguishedgentlemansride in aid of prostate cancer research and men's mental health charities. Masses of food and drink: @eastcoastbars @pokenomadventures @smashanddashtruck @woodfiredfoodco @hvgraves.norfolk @field.coffee2024 @chipbuckets plus DJ Julie rocking the orchard with 60s and 70s tunes 🎵🎤🎸. Our sponsors @angliacarauctions will have a pop-up showroom on the main lawn with their finest cars and memorabilia. And the wonderful @norfolkandwaveneymind will be selling tea and cake in the tea rooms. It's going to be another very fun day out full of motors, refreshments and beautiful gardens 🌸🌼🍰🚘🍺. £9 entrance for everyone to both the classic show and the gardens. Under 12s and drivers of a classic vehicle (pre 2000) get in free.

We think the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity team are so fab that we have twinned the colour of our signature Rhodendron 'Cynthia' to exactly the same deep fuschia pink as their branding and t-shirts 🤭. They are doing a roaring trade as I type and o
We think the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity team are so fab that we have twinned the colour of our signature Rhodendron 'Cynthia' to exactly the same deep fuschia pink as their branding and t-shirts 🤭. They are doing a roaring trade as I type and our visitors are quaffing down their delicious cakes and savoury treats, either enjoying them in the shaded woodland by the tea rooms or taking them out on to the sunshine filled lawn ☀️. The gardens are peppered with many of our favourite deep pink Rhododendon 'Cynthia' including The Pink Arch, Cynthia Walk and Rhododendron Drive which takes you down to the Azalea Water Gardens. Should we be looking at more original names for our garden areas?! Perhaps!! Ideas gratefully recieved ... @pbhospice #rhododendrongarden #opengarden #norfolkgarden #norfolk #rhododendronspeciesbotanicalgarden #charityteas #cake
The gardens are now in full flower 🌸🌼🌺! We are open 1pm -5pm every Wednesday to Friday and each Sunday for the duration of May, as well as Bank Holiday Monday 26th May (our final day.) Each open day will have a different local charity proving homemade teas, giving you a great afternoon out. We can’t wait to welcome our NGS garden aficionados tomorrow, as well as the general public and antique lovers for our @bishopandmillerauctions Valuation Day this coming Sunday. After a further three quieter mid-week open days (13-16 May,) we will then welcome back our classic vehicle lovers on Sunday 18th May. All open days and tickets can be found on Ticketsource (link in bio). It’s a busy time but we love sharing the gardens with everyone! #opengarden #ngsgarden #charityteas #norfolkgarden #norfolk
Just picked some flowers for the house. An initial attempt to stick to a sensible colour scheme failed completely as you can see from this overloaded basket. The colour is emerging at pace and every corner of the garden reveals a new azalea or rhododendron bursting into bloom. Just in time for our first open day this Sunday 27 April. We’re open from 1pm to 5pm and teas will be provided by and in aid of the excellent Norwich NSPCC. They fundraised with us last year and do great cake! This is an ideal Sunday to visit if you’d like to take advantage of the garden being quieter before our special events later in the month. We are also open Wednesday to Friday as of next week 1pm - 5pm. #norfolkgarden #norfolk #opengardens #gardens #springgarden #flowers #flowersmakemehappy @nspcc_official
Nestled in the yew hedge at the far end of the recently replanted Dawn Garden I found ‘The Museum of Abstract Artefacts.’ Below our flower-laden Prunus ‘Tai Haku’ (now in its 3rd year and looking fabulous) my knowledgable tour guide showed me some brilliantly random things including: - a very delicate and precious JD Sports badge - the world’s first slingshot - the world’s earliest football - the first cricket ball ever made - The world’s longest ever pencil etc etc (you get the idea!) A timely reminder as we rush about weeding, edging and putting out signs before we open our gates this coming Sunday 27th April, that this is, after all, a family garden. But! all evidence of children’s mess will be hidden away for our discerning garden lovers this coming Sunday (the gardens are looking stunning already thanks to the wonderful recent sunshine), then pulled back out again for our very jolly and jam-packed Family Fun Day on Sunday 4th May. All tickets and details of our special events in link in bio. #norfolkgarden #opengarden #familyfun #norfolk #springgarden
Just back from a few days away and… wow - our magnolias are in full flow 😊. Such a lovely sight both today and for millennia before - fossilised magnolia flowers have been found that are 95 million years old, dating from the time of the dinos
Just back from a few days away and… wow - our magnolias are in full flow 😊. Such a lovely sight both today and for millennia before - fossilised magnolia flowers have been found that are 95 million years old, dating from the time of the dinosaurs, making magnolia one of the oldest flowering plants. In ancient China, magnolias were symbolic of womanly beauty and gentleness, of nobility and dignity. They certainly look very dignified in the garden today. #opengardens #magnolia #norfolkgarden #springgarden
