About us

Explore the enchanting gardens of Pentyrch, where ordinary households unveil their hidden beauty to the public!  This floral adventure began in 1999 when a villager visited the Usk Open Gardens weekend and exclaimed, “We could do that!” . Joined by a like-minded friend and supported by their patient spouses, they planned what they thought would be a one-time event. Little did they know, this humble idea would blossom into an eagerly anticipated annual tradition.

The first Open Gardens Weekend was a resounding success, achieving its goal of buying land for a future car park and raising funds for essential landscaping projects. Since then, Pentyrch Open Gardens has become a cherished event in the village, with enthusiastic residents opening their gates year after year.  From cozy bijou spaces to gardens with breathtaking views, there’s something for everyone to admire. You’ll find thriving vegetable patches, traditional cottage gardens, and beautiful family spaces. The common thread? The owners’ boundless passion and love for their gardens, which they’re excited to share with you.

Once the initial fundraising goals were met, Pentyrch Open Gardens extended its generosity to support local charities, projects, and groups. Some initiatives have enhanced the village environment, with vibrant tubs and hanging baskets adorning the streets throughout the year. Bulbs have been planted, ushering in a colorful welcome as you approach the village.

Join us in celebrating the harmonious blend of nature and community at Pentyrch Open Gardens!  Whether you lend a hand in catering, sell admission tickets, grow plants for the charming plant stall, or assist with advertising, there’s a role for everyone who wants to be involved.
