Activating your 2-for-1 Gardens app
This year, we have launched a new 2-for-1 Gardens app to support the print guide. This article will help you with everything you need to know to use the app.
This year 2-for-1 Gardens will be supported by a new app, making it quick and easy to find gardens. You can search by name, county or region, making it simple to discover gardens to visit.
With all the garden visiting information at your fingertips and a new interactive map feature, you'll have everything you need. Download the app for free to access all garden listings.
You can activate a digital 2-for-1 Gardens card using the unique code printed in the guide, only available with the May issue of BBC Gardeners' World Magazine. Your card can be used to claim discounted entry at all participating gardens.
