500 people visit Lansdown Open Gardens

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.

The Millennium Green Lookout replaces the old fort and is the largest project undertaken on the Green since 2000. The Lookout will enable beautiful new vistas for all, a willow playhouse for children and is a substantial investment for which we are still raising funds.
If you would like to contribute to this key 25th Anniversary Millennium Green project with a donation, please follow the link below
