Ham Open Gardens are open this Sunday 17th May between 12 - 5 pm. Book your tickets by Saturday to get the discounted price of just £12 pp and the opportunity to visit over 20 gardens. Why go?
☺️ A genuine mood boost — Time in green spaces reduces stress, lifts your spirits, and gets you moving without it feeling like exercise.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Community connection — Meet the gardeners and neighbours, discover a part of Ham you haven't seen before.
😌 Support local wellbeing — A portion of proceeds goes to HAPSOS, helping us continue our work supporting the Ham & Petersham community... let someone else's garden do the hard work of making you feel good.
