The John Lewis Partnership opens the garden
twelve times a year during the spring and summer
to raise money for charity. The third Sunday in
June is usually reserved for the National Garden
Scheme, while the other open days benefit local
charities and good causes.The garden's
international reputation means that there are
also requests for visits from horticultural
societies around the world - around 60 groups of
horticulturists come on booked tours each year.
The carefully mown grass walks provide access for
visitors in wheelchairs, and families with young
children are welcome.
Once you've
visited the water garden there is still a great
deal more to see. If you walk up through
Longstock's fine arboretum you come upon
Longstock Park Nursery, with its large collection
of unusual wall-plants, magnificent herbaceous
border and 100-yard arch twined with roses and
clematis.
