About Bedminster Secret Gardens

Really Secret Gardens!
Bedminster Secret Gardens are an inspirational set of gardens in the terraced streets of Bristol.

Have you ever imagined what lies behind the doors in the rows of terraced houses? Well now is your chance to find out!

Over 35 gardens open their doors so you can enter a world of plants and see creative, productive and beautiful gardens. What fun!

This summer, as part of the Bedminster Festival of Gardening, local people will be opening their back gates so that you can discover the secret gardens of Bedminster, Southville and Ashton. 

In 2024 over 1,000 visitors entered this secret world and contributed £3000 for community gardening and environmental projects across BS3 (Bedminster, Southville and Ashton)
