Ever fancied a nose around some of the area’s best gardens? You’ll get your chance this month with the Open Gardens Festival, held to support Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice.
Nine SE7 gardens are taking part – mostly around Heathwood Gardens and Kinveachy Gardens – but others include Leo Salvia and Jack Lineham’s oasis of wildflowers, ornamental planting and vegetable beds in what was once a neglected plot of brambles.
You’ll also be able to take a look at a host of other gardens in Greenwich and Blackheath, and further afield in Lee and Eltham – see more details in the leaflet. Some are down private lanes you may never have visited before – others are in unassuming neighbourhood streets.
The event takes place on 10-11 and 24-25 June – tickets are £20 for both weekends, £14 for one weekend and £5 to look around a single garden. To book, visit the Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice website.
