CORFU. The Corfu Garden Festival originated in 2018 as the Corfu Open Gardens Weekend, taking place in spring and autumn and started by Rachel Weaving and Alithea Johns.

Corfu has been called ‘The Garden of the Gods”. It is also known as ‘The Garden Isle” and has an international reputation as one of the most beautiful Greek islands and as a destination for those who love to experience gardens. The Corfu Garden Festival is a celebration of some of these gardens, communities, and individuals who contribute to maintaining the island's charm.

During the festival, many of the island's gardens will open for a day for those who wish to enjoy their beauty. Gardens in all their forms and varieties, from some of the large historic estate gardens to productive gardens and farms; from manicured gardens to wild gardens; from private gardens to the opening of new community gardens.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the people who create and care for the gardens, those who are inspired to care for the entire "garden" of Corfu, and artists inspired by nature in all its forms. The festival will take place from April 19th to April 28th.

A number of walks, workshops and tastings are being held for you to have the opportunity to experience and be inspired by the beauty of Corfu.
