Wednesday 20th June: Open Gardens Squares Weekend






I always enjoyed open garden weekends growing up in the countryside so now I'm a London dweller I've discovered the city's own alternative of the private communal spaces sharing their hidden secret gardens.  Most of these community gardens gated off to unpermitted footfall go unnoticed behind the bushes and fences along pavements of each borough.  However on one weekend each Summer you can stroll in and imaging life on the other side - literally!  
We ventured to Chelsea hedging a bet for there to be an optimum calibre of design in the neighbourhood!  We got to experience live jazz with tea and biscuits on one lawn and then wild-flower potting at The Natural History Museum's own garden.  This initiative grows flowers to attract and promote our native pollinators in addition to also providing them refuge with these bamboo reed bee hotels! 

See more over on Open Garden Squares Weekend.
