On Sunday 7th June six local gardens were opened by their owners in support of Lansdown Open Gardens. The gardens were located in the Primrose Hill, Sion Hill and Richmond Hill areas of Bath. Despite continuous rain the previous day and heavy downpours the following day, the rain held off on Sunday enabling over 500 people to enjoy a fabulous day out. Central to this annual event were the gardens which offered a rich variety of styles, aspects, outlooks, horticultural interest but also fun and humour with one garden ornament representing a naughty spirit stealing plants.
To accompany visits to the gardens was a very busy plant sale on St Stephen’s Millennium Green. The plants were grown locally and donated by residents.
Another, well known part of the day were tea and cakes. 40 delicious homemade cakes were donated by local residents to ensure a glorious spread from ever-popular Victoria sponge cakes to Marmalade and Ricotta, Orange and Almond, Coffee, Carrot and Walnut cakes
The event was coordinated with St Stephens’ Church’s which has a week of celebration and thanksgiving from 7th to 14th June marking the retirement of the much-loved Reverent Phillip Hawthorn after 16 years in the parish.
Lansdown Open Gardens is organised entirely by local volunteers. On Monday a BBQ was held to thank volunteers and garden owners for their contributions for making the day such a success and raising £6000. The funds go towards the maintenance of the St Stephen’s Millennium Green which is a delightful garden open to all.

Thank you to the over 60 people who joined for Tom Boden’s splendid talk about the National Trust’s major project to transform the Assembly Rooms into a major attraction for the city of Bath. Tom, General Manager for the National Trust’s Bath portfolio of properties including Dyrham Park, Bath Assembly Rooms, Prior Park Landscape Garden, Bathampton Meadows and the Bath Skyline, explained that while the Roman story of Bath is well told, there are gaps in the current presentation of Bath’s Georgian story.
The ambitious project will restore the Assembly Rooms building, which was heavily damaged in WW2, and tell the enlightening stories of the people who lived, gambled and danced there. The new experience will use the most modern technology to show how people went about their business in Georgian Bath. For example, visitors will be able to listen to the exciting conversations, stories and gossip of some fascinating characters as they prepare for an upcoming ball. A broader goal of the project is to encourage visitors to extend their stay in Bath by giving them a deeper appreciation of this beautiful city.
The talk was sold out and organised by the trustees of the St Stephen’s Millennium Green Trust and held in the St Stephen’s Church undercroft on Monday 13th October. The funds raised will be used to pay for the upkeep of the much loved St Stephens Millennium Green.
