Great Garden Trail Returns for 2025

St Elizabeth Hospice’s much-loved Great Garden Trail is returning this summer.

From Woodbridge to Diss through to Felixstowe and Halesworth, a number of gardens across the region are opening their gates for the public to visit and enjoy this summer in aid of St Elizabeth Hospice, as part of its annual Great Garden Trail.

Great Garden Trail 2025 is being held from March to September, featuring a great variety of gardens supported by whole villages as well as beautiful hidden gems for the public to explore in return for a donation to St Elizabeth Hospice.

Kelly Nekrews, Community Fundraiser at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We are thrilled to announce the return of the Great Garden Trail for its eleventh year. Over the years, so many incredible gardeners have generously opened their gardens, creating a wonderful experience for supporters and gardening enthusiasts across the region.

“Each year, it’s a real privilege to witness the fantastic green-fingered talents of gardeners throughout the county, and we are so grateful for their support.

“Be sure to visit our website for a full list of this year’s participating gardens and to find out how you can support your local hospice.”

Over 50 gardens will feature in this year’s trail, from individual gardens to communities opening together for the public to explore this summer, including Rydal Mount (near Halesworth), Diss, Parham, Wingfield and Columbine Hall.

A full list of locations and dates of the gardens taking part in the trail can be found by visiting www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/get-involved/events/great-garden-trail/, as can details regarding entry and tickets.
