Merry Christmas from all at Open Garden Squares Weekend

What an amazing year 2012 has been - a fantastic year to work from Duck Island Cottage, our HQ in St James's Park.  We were lucky enough to see rehearsals for the pageantry and splendour of the Diamond Jubilee.  We also saw some of the the build-up to the Olympics and Paralympics in St James’s Park and Horseguards Parade. Although we had to temporarily move out of our offices, we felt the the inspiring and (sometimes) jaw-dropping games were definitely worth the minor inconvenience.  And to top it all off, with your support, Open Garden Squares Weekend had its highest-ever number of visitors.

Next year

We are raring to go for 2013 and already working hard on securing some prestigious and exclusive gardens to open on 8 & 9 June. We'll be announcing new gardens in February and our e-zine readers will be some of the first to know.  For interesting snippets, tips and up-to-date information, don't forget to like us on Twitter and follow us on Facebook.

Know any gardens?

If you know of any gardens that might like to take part please do let us know.  We are looking for gardens that are not normally open to the general public but have a communal element.  Further information »
Thank you for your support in 2012 and we very much look forward to seeing you in 2013 - don't forget to put 8-9 June in your new diary!

Wishing you all a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas and New Year.
