Evening Standard Best Garden

Bonnington Square has been listed in the amoung the top six London gardens by the Evening Standard.

Observer article

The first time I saw the square I knew I wanted to live there. There was a party house with no floors, children running barefoot in the street, a cast of local characters who were the definition of bohemian and the Bonnington Square Café, which is still run on a vegetarian co-operative basis. Friends dropped in with no notice and frequently stayed until dawn, and the boundaries between where you lived and where you spent your time were constantly blurred.

Open Garden Squares Weekend


Hope you have been enjoying the spectacular weather — almost TOO hot for gardening.

We have the
BIG weekend coming up in June 7-8th (we're open all the time of course but I suppose for the purposes of that day and keeping an eye on the garden we should say 10-5pm), with loads of visitors who will make a detour to see our very special gardens and square. We are looking forward to the event, and hope that you will all be able to spare an hour or two for the next couple of weekends. 

We are calling our clean up a Green Gym, as it is a great work out, and no garden knowledge needed.
Please
look at the pdf and we look forward to seeing you.

James did mowing, raking and weeding on Sat.

Outlook is cooler for the weekend...
