Open Garden Squares Weekend

Next weekend (12-13 June), the Gardengoer will be at Transport for London’s Open Garden Squares Weekend, organised by London Parks & Gardens Trust.

Over two hundred of London’s private squares and gardens will open their gates to the public for the weekend, giving visitors a rare opportunity to see gardens and spaces that are otherwise for residents’ eyes only. See my article in the Independent, published yesterday (4 June): ‘Turf Wars: Tales of fashion, greed and violent disorder that lie beneath the grass and behind the railings of London's elegant squares'.

During the weekend, tickets are available from the Britain and London Visitor Centre and selected participating gardens - for details, go to www.opensquares.org.
