Your photographs are so much better than mine. My daughter , Romilly, and I loved them all. Thank you for bringing these gardens to us.

I love the long row house gardens of London. They are magical places. I lived on Weltje Road just down from the Ravenscourt Park and there were so many lovely walled gardens around there that you could only get a glimpse of when you meet a friendly gardener.

The half open gate looks very inviting, I wish that I could come.

Pauline.

Rae Hick was very helpful, basically saying what those posting before me have said. Finding where to pay will be obvious.

They do seem alluring gardens, in their hidden quality and their sense of place. Noting that, Rae did say it was a popular event last year so that may affect visit planning.

Can you just turn up on the day and pay?
I couldn’t see how to book a ticket in advance on the website.
