Opening and Plant Sales
Our Botanic Garden will be open to the general public on Sunday afternoons after Easter 2025.
You are welcome to come in if you see the gate open - we'll be there gardening. (often Wed, Thu and Fri mornings).
If you follow our Facebook or Instagram Pages we'll post a notification for our first Sunday opening in 2025
Why not look in our photo album Plants For Sale A-Z Photo Album before you come. You can see the colours of flowers of plants which flower at a different time of year. We often have over 100 different plants for sale and some are not found for sale very often.
If you 'Join' the album, you will receive notifications when we add new plants.

Plants available change often, so do check back regularly!
Whenever you pay a visit, you will be most welcome. The Botanic Garden is a place where we learn from each other, so do talk to us.
Do come in if you find the gate open.

In October 2022, Katrina, who is on YouTube and Instagram as 'Homegrown Garden', visited our final plant sale of the season and made a super video of her visit which you can watch on YouTube.
It's 20 minutes and features an interview with Erica.
Here are are few short video clips from 2020
Payment is by contactless payments, card or cash, when the garden is open in the week (or Sunday afternoons 2-4pm from April-Oct).
However if you are one of our members, you can also pay by Bank Transfer. All plants are priced £2, £3, £4, £5, £6 or £7 each.
It would help us if you can bring small note and coins when paying by cash.
We take lots of photographs every week and currently have over 19,000 (May 2024) which are arranged into Month/year or Genus or Wildlife in the Garden for example.
Look on our Gallery page to see photos from 2024 and right back to 2012
You could 'like' us on Facebook or Instagram where we will also post.
On Sundays (except one or two) from Spring to Autumn the garden is open to the public between 2pm and 4pm.
Please note, the garden will not open on the Sunday of the day of the Robin Hood Half-Marathon.
Plants grown in the garden and donated by members are for sale from as little as £2 and are very popular with our visitors. The proceeds go towards maintaining the Garden and supporting the Winter Programme of talks and our Summer Outings.
Volunteers Rota
Members volunteer on a rota basis to open the garden give advice and sell plants. To volunteer, contact us by checking the Sunday Rota and send us an email to hps.nottingham.group@gmail.com or see Sandra at a meeting.
Don't worry if you haven't done this before, we will pair you up with someone who has, and it's good fun.
The Bothy, where we pot up plants, store our gardening tools and make our drinks when we are in the garden.
