These photos remind me of the lovely summer garden parties at the Rectory in Fournier Street.

These gardens were a total delight and I came away with so many ideas on how to make my own London back garden more interesting. The creative use of space and high brick walls, girders and hedges to create rooms gave the illusion of far larger plots. The colour schemes, mainly blue, white and purple worked so well and added to the general theme of enchantment. Thanks so much for giving advance notice GA. Victoria

I follow you on twitter and your blog always brightens my days. Usually it’s gloom, doom and politics so I always look forward to posts like this. The gardens are beautiful and show what can be done in an Inner City environment to create a peaceful oasis. Thank you 🙂

There is a real art to the courtyard garden. A new London one that is well worth a visit is at the Keeper’s House at the Royal Academy. Their website shows the transformation from unloved corner to something really beautiful in the hands of Tom Stuart-Smith. I was there last week for an author event and couldn’t get over its beauty.

Pauline Taylor, you are so right to say Chelsea Flower Show eat your heart out as I too thought it was rubbish. It failed to impress me too.

Your article reminded me of the scheme in Amsterdam where about 30 gardens in the centre of the city are open to the public to visit early in June. A few are attached to museums but most are privately owned and are interesting green spaces behind the narrow brick fronted houses. They are mostly of a formal nature with low clipped hedges and symmetrical beds with gravel paths,

I hope the weekend is a success.

Very much looking forward to visiting these gardens on their open day. Love the national garden scheme and always looking for new ideas for my own garden!
