Hiring the garden for weddings or other events
If you are living in our neighbourhood and want to have an informal party in our space, please let us know your plans and we can try to make sure that you have a great time and the garden looks great at the end of it. Refundable deposit required donations invited.
Please contact us here.
The garden receives no financial support apart from donations, so we really do rely on them and the good will of all the volunteers who give their time so kindly to the garden. A big THANK YOU to all of who have helped us over the years.

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...
