We will be taking part in the London Open Gardens this year.  During the day we will have the London Metropolitan Brass band playing, there will be a tour of the garden and yard with Stephen our Lead Gardener, bag a bargain at our plant sale, take part in the Troy Town ceramics workshop, buy some fantastic ceramic gardenware, make a cyanotype postcard to send to a friend or join our Yoga workshop and wellbeing talk on the Sunday.  Refreshments will be available.

The London Parks and Gardens charity, LPG, is delighted to announce the 118 secret or usually-closed gardens which will open their gates to ticketholders for one special fundraising weekend, 8-9^th June 2024.

This London Open Gardens event marks 25 years of access to secret squares and gardens for all, raising funds to help protect these gorgeous ‘green lungs’ of London.

This much-loved event began with volunteers’ passion to open iconic but locked London Squares. It has since grown to embrace gardens across central London – from the exquisite roof spaces of city banks to historic institutions, community allotments and even the Prime Minister’s own Downing St Garden in previous years. The weekend also now includes a range of walks, cycle tours and activities in gardens for all ages.

Nine exciting new gardens join us this year for the first time or after a long break. We are delighted to welcome back The Charterhouse Courtyard Gardens on the edge of the city, showcasing seven beautiful acres of garden space including the Charterhouse Square and six courtyard gardens within the Tudor walls.

In Central London, the serene Barkston Gardens joins a suite of stunning squares uniquely un-locked for our event including Hyde Park Square and neighbouring Gloucester Square. Gloucester Square boasts an impressive new playground covering 1.6 acres which will be accessible throughout the weekend (Tickets are free for under 12s).

Roof gardens are a favourite for many and this year we’re spoilt with 8 iconic high spaces showcasing our green capital from above.

New community gardens opening in 2024 include the Spurgeon Estate Garden in Lambeth, Quill Street Allotments in Gillespie Park and Highbury Quadrant, a beautiful hidden child friendly woodland area in the city. This year we also welcome Hackney’s Community Garden of the Hoxton Trust, established in 1983.

We are 40 years old!   

Join us to celebrate on Saturday 18th May in the Hoxton community garden.  Music from the East London Community Band,  Food from Rogers BBQ,  A fab circus show from Brainfools, Mad Hat making by the Bop Hub ( a revisit to the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the community garden in the mid-eighties) A wonderful puppet show and workshop from the amazing Puppet Folk and a raffle to top it all off.  Hope to see you there Hoxton!

Come and Celebrate Windrush 75 in Hoxton. Follow the story and backstory of the windrush generation within the garden, and through the music of the amazing eclectic Grand Union Orchestra.  Have a dance and enjoy some authentic Caribbean Food in the beautiful setting of Hoxton Community Garden this midsummer.
