If you are parking near a garden then please park considerately and please avoid the bus stop cones! Or why not cycle to the gardens?

St Christopher School is providing a free park and ride bus service stopping close to all the gardens. Parking will be available at the Town Hall Car Park in the centre of town, SG6 3BY, where the buses will pick up from. The buses will stop close to each garden so you can hop on or off wherever you like - see map tab above and signage on day for details. There should be a bus every half hour at a garden but it's often difficult to maintain schedule due to some narrow roads! These are volunteer drivers so please be extra nice to them!!

The location of gardens and the full bus route are shown at the menu tab above. Brief details of all the gardens open are also available from the menu above. All these details are also printed on the paper ticket/map, however if there are any changes after they have been printed, the changes will only be reflected on this website.
