Open Gardens

The 2023 Edition of our Annual Open Gardens boasts approximately 15 gardens in and around the Helderberg Region (including Somerset West and Strand, Western Cape). These carefully selected gardens will be open exclusively to ticket holders on the weekend of 20 – 22 October 2023 and all ticket sales are for the benefit of Helderberg Hospice. These unique, and lovingly manicured gardens provide a vibrant, yet tranquil place for visitors to enjoy. Take a stroll through these beautiful gardens and feel revived by the sense of calm and peace they have to offer.

Weekend access allows visitors into all the gardens on all 3 days, however, for security purposes, the map detailing the addresses of this year’s gardens will only be available from 09h00 on Friday 20th October 2023 at Helderberg Hospice.
