Usk Open Gardens

Spectacular Floral Displays and Hidden Courtyards Across Usk

The historic town of Usk welcomes passionate plant lovers this June for a wonderful weekend celebration of horticulture. Over twenty private gardens throw open their gates to reveal stunning herbaceous borders, hidden orchards, and manicured lawns. Visitors can stroll along Maryport Street to discover delightful cottage plots brimming with fragrant lavender and vibrant geraniums. Enthusiastic owners stand ready to share expert gardening tips and structural design secrets with curious guests. Ticket sales directly support local charities, making this annual community festival a truly rewarding experience for all attending.

Bustling market stalls around the historic square offer rare botanical specimens and locally grown shrubs for purchase. Delicious homemade cakes and refreshing afternoon teas are served in several participating locations throughout the weekend.

Live musical performances fill the fresh summer air with delightful melodies as you admire the beautiful scenery.
