Open Gardens Weekend is an event where people have the opportunity to see usually inaccessible gardens, but also get to know their favorite parks in new ways.

The public has a chance to learn about the methods of experts in green issues in this context and thereby gain a new perspective on its role and significance in life. During the weekend of open gardens, a number of parks and gardens are organizing rich accompanying programs including guided tours, children’s activities, concerts, etc. 

Open Gardens Weekend is held every second weekend in June when rampant vegetation fully stand out. Visitors this weekend can enjoy the rebirth of spring in summer, not only in the Czech lands, but throughout Europe.
