|  | | If you haven't visited a National Garden Scheme garden yet, you can be assured of a safe, friendly welcome. We work out in advance the safe, maximum number of visitors for the garden, allowing visitors plenty of time and space so you can visit our gardens with confidence.
A typical comment from our visitors is "it's just so lovely to be out to share someone else's garden!" So many visitors have also taken the opportunity to meet up safely with family members and have a picnic in our gardens.
All you need to do to book a ticket to one of our gardens is to go to the National Garden Scheme website below, click on Book to Visit a Garden, then Midlands, and all the Shropshire gardens open in the coming week will be shown. Then click on the time you'd like to come and the number of tickets you'd like and pay for them on-line - it is very straightforward and easy.
If you have any problems buying tickets, please let me know.
