This week is officially National Gardening Week 2015! That means there will be tons of gardening events across the country you can take your friends and family to.
What is National Gardening Week and what is it about? National Gardening Week was launched four years ago by the RHS and since then has grown into the country’s biggest celebration of gardening. Thousands of people, gardens, charities, retailers, culture and heritage organisations and groups get involved and you can too.
Godinton House Garden, Ashford, Kent, England
Gardening as a culture began in Roman times. Families wanted to improve the environment in which they lived by removing flowers and plants they didn't like and replacing them with beautiful flowers for decoration.
Having a garden is considered a huge luxury if you live in the city. If you don't have a good garden, there is always a way to find some room or window sills where you can grow flowers and plants! If you already enjoy gardening then you will know that there is nothing more exciting than growing your own beautiful flowers.
So what is so special about National Gardening Week? Well, If you admire visiting other gardens, take a look at the National Gardening Week website to see some of the many events taking part over the next week!
Levens Hall, an Elizabethan house in Kendal, Lake District, England.
You will find that most gardens in the UK are opening their gates to the public this Thursday 17th April. They have asked the gardens that usually charge to do this for free on Thursday only!
So far the RHS is starting the campaign and opening four beautiful gardens including: Wisley in Surrey, Hyde Hall in Essex, Rosemoor in North Devon and Harlow Carr in North Yorkshire. Check the website for more gardens near you that will be getting involved.
