Garden Professionals: Join the Open Days Community

Open Days partners with the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate their annual Garden Month of tours, lectures, concerts, and art workshops for visitors of all ages.

Landscape architect James deGrey David treated guest to a private tour and discussion in his Austin, Texas garden through a Digging Deeper event in 2015.

For more than ten years, Open Days has partnered with the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon to share private gardens throughout the Pacific Northwest. HPSO members recently visited Garden Conservancy headquarters in New York during a wider tour of the Hudson Valley.

Garden Professionals clearly share Open Days’ love of and interest in gardens, and we invite you to get involved. Through our program, we are working to fuel the public’s passion for gardens and gardening. As a professional in the gardening community, we know that is a mission you can support.

Education has always been a theme of Open Days, and our Digging Deeper and Garden Masters Series programs provide places for meaningful dialogue on a wide range of garden topics. In these programs, small groups of visitors come together with experts from every facet of the garden world including landscape designers, garden writers, artists, organic farmers, and more.
