Open Days New Garden Form
Thank you for your interest in Open Days — The Garden Conservancy's signature, award-winning education program. You are now part of a nationwide group of avid gardeners who share their gardens — and their passion — in support of The Garden Conservancy's mission to preserve, share, and celebrate America's gardens and diverse gardening traditions for the education and inspiration of the public.
Who should use this form?
This form should be used by first-time garden hosts. The purpose of this form is to gather all of the information needed to list your garden in the upcoming Open Days season and helps us efficiently build your profile in our database.
If you have shared your garden through the Open Days program before, please email us and we will send you the correct form.
We edit entries lightly for consistency, but rely on hosts for all other information, so please be sure to enter information exactly as you wish it to appear in the Open Days Directory, electronic tickets, and on The Garden Conservancy's website.
This form should take 20-30 minutes to complete.
The deadline for inclusion in the printed Open Days Directory is early November. After this time, we cannot guarantee content will be included in the Open Days Directory. However, with electronic ticketing, gardens can continue to be added to the online schedule until about two months before the Open Day.
You may also print out the PDF version (download PDF) and submit by post or email. Submission instructions are included in the PDF.
