Open Garden Squares Weekend

A gated community garden with pond and wildflowers, which opened in 2006 and is run in partnership by Tate Modern and the green community charity Bankside Open Spaces Trust.

The garden is enjoyed by local residents, including schoolchildren, who take part in events including planting days, pond-dipping, wildlife-spotting, events and gardening clubs. Local people can meet, dig, have fun and take pleasure in flowers, plants and animals, in what is otherwise a busy tourist thoroughfare.
