Leicestershire National Garden Scheme
Open Gardens October 2025
Enjoy the colour of autumn trees at Hammond Arboretum, Market Harborough, LE16 7JG, which opens on Sunday 5th October from 2.00 to 4.30pm. The Arboretum was established by Francis Hammond, former Headmaster of the old Grammar school, and tree planting started in 1913. The Arboretum is home to a wide range of mature trees, including 3 champion trees and 36 classified as the best in Leicestershire.
On Sunday 26th October, from 11.00am to 4.00pm, Tresillian House, LE13 0BG, opens a ¾-acre tranquil garden near Melton Mowbray, featuring mixed autumn colour, a pond, a small exhibition by local artists, and hot soup.
Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers, and visitors, Leicestershire National Garden Scheme raised over £67,000, which was donated to our beneficiary charities in 2024.
