Our thanks to all who joined-us for LOG2025
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 and the influences which shaped our capital.
Money raised from the event funds our work celebrating, recording and protecting public green spaces for all. Work’s now underway to deliver LOG2026.
Campaign update
“Victoria Tower Gardens is an ongoing example of the slow erosion of public green space. It is not disposable, replaceable, nor empty. They [London’s parks and gardens] are prized.”
Victoria Tower Gardens has been named one of Europe’s Seven Most Endangered heritage sites. Your DONATION helps us save this park and others across London.
Our review of the British Library’s exhibition
Unearthed: The Power of Gardening
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to explore the British Library’s rich archive of gardening related material. Unearthed: The Power of Gardening includes the first known book of English gardening from 1558, explores how our ancestors learned how to work with nature to give themselves longer, happier and healthier lives, and reflects on the evolution of a vision for modern city living we still aspire to today.
Lecture Series
Each topic in our Lecture Series contributes to our understanding of the value of green spaces, old and new.
The 2025/26 series is under construction and full details will be finalised this summer. All talks will reflect our love of the rich stories of London’s public green spaces and their relevance and role for society.
