More than 200 private sites and gardens will become accessible to the public! 

On 8 and 9 June, residents and tourists in the Czech Republic will be allowed to visit and explore gardens that are otherwise inaccessible throughout the year.

On this occasion, the public can get acquainted with the different approaches to the maintenance of gardens and get a new insight into its function and importance in life.

It must be noted that, despite the name of the event, various buildings and establishments will take part. In other words, the two-day experience will allow visitors to access numerous private sites including castles, squares, historic cemeteries, monasteries, arboretums, botanical gardens, and flower farms.

Over 200 establishments are taking part this year

The Open Gardens Weekend event first took place in 2010 when only 3 gardens became accessible to the public. People’s interest rapidly grew with time, and the two-day experience proved to be a success.

Now, more than 200 gardens from all over the country have announced that they will take part in this year’s Open Gardens Weekend.
