A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Box Open Gardens 2025! Over 1,000 of you attended, raising valuable funds for three local charities: Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Longfield Hospice, and Box Village Hall.

The weather held out beautifully throughout the day, and we hope you enjoyed exploring the stunning gardens, sampling delicious treats from the village stalls, and soaking up the warm community atmosphere. Many of you even went home with some gorgeous new plants from the ever-popular plant stall!

We are incredibly grateful to all the volunteers who helped plan and run the event, the 12 garden owners, as well as to the local businesses whose generous donations made the day even more special.

The event took place on Sunday, 1st June 2025, from 12–6 pm, beginning at Box Village Hall, Box, Stroud GL6 9HE.
