London Open Gardens, is our annual event where normally closed or hidden green spaces open their gates. The fundraising event showcases rooftop gems, community spaces and historic walled enclosures. Alongside this are expert-led walking tours on horticulture, history, the people and events which shaped our capital.
Money raised from the event funds our work celebrating, recording and protecting public green spaces for all.
