Britain's What's On Event Guide
Four private gardens open in Barnsbury
Discover four contrasting spaces within Barnsbury's Georgian squares and terraces.
57 Huntingdon Street is a secluded garden with silver birches, ferns, perennials, grasses and container ponds to encourage wildlife.
36 Thornhill Square, a 120ft garden with a country atmosphere, is filled with roses, specimen trees and perennials. A collection of bonsai and planters surrounds the patio.
2 Lonsdale Square is a charming small cobblestoned garden with herbaceous beds and apple trees, structured with box and yew hedges. Climbing roses and star jasmine add delicious scent; planters overflow with lavender and pansies.
Barnsbury Wood is London's smallest nature reserve, a hidden gem and one of Islington's few sites of semi-mature woodland, a tranquil oasis of wild flowers and massive trees minutes from Caledonian Rd.
Wildlife information available.
The gardens reveal what can be achieved with the right plants in the right conditions, surmounting difficulties of dry walls and shade.
