Green Island Gardens will be open on the Easter Weekend. Bring the family out to the gardens, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Sorry, due to Covid situation we will not have an Easter egg hunt this year, we hope we can do it in 2022!
This is the perfect chance to visit Green Island Gardens and enjoy the sights & smells of spring with the woodlands carpeted in Bluebells and the vibrant Azaleas.
At this time of year, the gardens are manifesting their true and most vigorous colours and shapes.
Under normal circumstances, an open air bazaar would be held in the main gardens with stalls showcasing local art, crafts and produce. This is not possible due to the pandemic, but we are very happy to be able to be open this year and to bring the Spring closer to you!
Sunday 2nd of May is our NGS Open Day, so all funds on that day will be donated to them.
We hope the Bluebells will lighten up your Spring!
