September is a wonderful time of year to experience gardens opening in support of the arboretum. There are five venues to visit this month, so it’s still worth investing in a season ticket. However, we are sad to announce that Barbara & Richard Ferrari’s wonderful garden at Bridge House Farm will no longer be opening (Sun 4 Sep) due to the dry weather conditions. As, always, we are extremely grateful to everyone involved in the programme.
Please note: Linden Lodge in Wilberfoss, York is opening in support of the arboretum on Friday 26 August between 3 - 7pm and on Saturday 27 August between 11am - 4pm.
