Map of Gardens to Visit in the Gardeners World Magazine 2 for 1 Offer
Updated for 2025
This map shows the 400 or so gardens in the Gardener's World annual 2-for-1 scheme. You need to pick up the magazine in April/May (about £10) to get the annual (until next April) pass. They usually have a 6 months subscription offer as well. After April/May, you can order it online. It's excellent value.
It includes most UK gardens, including some National Trust ones. However, a few well known ones aren't included - Kew, The Eden Project, Heligan, RHS Wisley.
Do check their website first as some have blackout dates (e.g. events, bank holidays, spring or autumn colour) and some of the smaller ones have pre-booking or very seasonal opening (e.g. just a couple of months for spring flowers). On the plus side, many are now 'half price' (for 1 or 2 people) rather than '2-4-1'.
If you like visiting gardens, consider annual membership of the National Trust, Historic Houses Association or Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Note that while RHS gives free admission to other gardens, it only applies to 1 member on a joint membership, effectively making it '2-4-1'.
