This Bank Holiday promises to be an eventful one, whatever the weather. If you’re a flower afficianado head over to the Bath Spring Flower Show from 1-3 May. An ideal day out for families with a range of activities from cooking demonstrations, a Green Living Tent and a children’s activity tent. Plus, of course, dozens of flower stalls to drool over.
Alternatively you might partake in the RHS Great London Garden Trail on 3 May. It’s a rare opportunity to look into 10 gardens usually closed to the public, including the Great Ormand Street Hospital roof gardens and John Brookes’ gothic cottage garden, which is every plantsman’s dream (above right). The event is open to all, and absolutely free.
And if you haven’t been yet this year you could always check out Kensington Roof Gardens, the spectacular theme gardens above Kensington High Street (banner pic). They recently launched a gardener’s club which is perfect for green fingered city dwellers.
