Step into Moseley’s private gardens and help our community flourish.

Moseley in Bloom’s annual Open Gardens returns on Sunday 28 June 2026 (11:00 – 17:00), offering access to private gardens across the neighbourhood. Whether you’re after design inspiration, a great day out with friends, or simply a chance to explore the hidden corners of Moseley, this event has something for everyone.

Expect a mix of contemporary spaces, wildlife‑friendly plots, creative small gardens and long‑loved favourites — plus a few surprises from first‑time openers. It’s one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Moseley and support the community projects that keep it looking its best.

What to expect

• Twenty varied gardens to explore: intimate courtyards, sweeping borders, wildlife-friendly corners and immaculate showpieces.
• Familiar favourites and fresh discoveries — several regular openers, one garden returning after 12 years, one previous opener now under new ownership, and two first-time openers.
• Community atmosphere with teas, live music and friendly hosts ready to share tips and stories.

Artists will be creating/drawing/painting live in several gardens, and we also have musicians in some gardens at various times during the day.

Pay by cash or QR and card on smartphone

You can buy with cash or by card directly on your smartphone by scanning a QR code. The QR payment will also accept ApplePay and GooglePay if you have set this up on your phone. These methods of payment can be used at every garden selling tickets and refreshments, and for the Prize Draw.

It is very straightforward to pay by card using your smartphone with the QR code provided at every selling point. Just scan the code which will take you immediately to a SumUp page showing a customised description of what you are buying and the garden address. Enter the amount you need to pay, enter your credit card details and click ‘pay’. Then show the confirmation screen to the volunteer to prove that it worked. These instructions are repeated on every QR sheet at each place where a payment is needed.

You can even have a practice now by scanning this code:

Optionally download the SumUp Pay Consumer App (google/android or apple/iOs) and pre-save your credit card ready for use later.

Free bus

We are very pleased to offer an exclusive free bus service which comes as part of your ticket. This is provided by our friends at The Calvary Church of God in Christ in Oxford Road, and driven by Pastor Winston. The bus will run an hourly circuit covering all open garden locations, with stops either directly by the garden or at most only a few minutes walk away. The service will run from Billesley Lane Allotments at 11am, on the hour every hour, with the last circuit starting at 4pm. The back cover of your garden guide has full details of the timetable.

We also have a live bus tracker which gives you information on where the bus is, where it will stop next and the estimated times for all the remaining stops on the circuit. Go to the bus tracker page which works in a web browser, so there is no app to download.
