Discover Hidden Gems: WGC Rotary Club Open Gardens 2026

Welwyn Garden City is famous for its greenery, but on Sunday, 7th June, you have the exclusive opportunity to step behind the garden gates. The Rotary Club of Welwyn Garden City is proud to host its annual Open Gardens event, inviting the community to explore five stunning local landscapes between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM.

Whether you are looking for horticultural inspiration or simply a delightful Sunday stroll, this event offers something for everyone while raising vital funds for local charities.
